“Wimbledon fans distraught after sizzling star Camila Giorgi crashes out in first round,” read the headline. It claimed “tennis stars are in meltdown” after the Italian departed the grand-slam tournament, describing her as a “bombshell” and noting her 26,000 social media followers, before a selection of seductive images were shared. From the finest green lawns to the gutter.
But there is still hope for Giorgi, 27, as research shows 81 per cent of Wimbledon champions were not married at the time of winning the prestigious title. Another interesting stat was that 89 per cent of champions had no children, giving those living solo a huge advantage.
Giorgi clearly has many admirers, particularly in the Italian press, including one unfortunate reporter who was in such a daze he forgot to turn on his voice recorder prior to her press conference.
It would appear Giorgi won’t be short of career options when she finally hangs up her racquet. But when asked if she was down in the dumps while recently sidelined with a injury, she surprised reporters by shrugging her shoulders. It’s clear there’s more to life than just tennis for Camila.
