Camila Giorgi, the former Wimbledon star, has officially announced her retirement from professional tennis amid reports of fleeing Italy due to unresolved tax issues. The New York Post revealed that the 32-year-old and her family have left the country, escaping scrutiny from the Florence Prosecutor’s Office which noted discrepancies in their tax returns. Investigations indicated that Giorgi, ranked 116th in the WTA standings, had not submitted several important tax documents.
In response to the swirling rumors and legal troubles, Giorgi took to Instagram to clarify her situation and communicate directly with her fans. “I am happy to formally announce my retirement from my tennis career,” Giorgi stated, expressing gratitude for the support over the years and hinting at future endeavors beyond the court. The announcement comes after Italian authorities, including the Guardia di Finanza, began delving into her and her family’s financial activities.
Beyond her tennis achievements, Giorgi is also known for her involvement in the fashion industry with her brand, Giomila, and has expressed interests in pursuing a career in fashion design or writing. Her retirement and the controversy surrounding it have captivated the attention of her 739,000 Instagram followers and the sports world at large. Giorgi’s departure from tennis marks the end of a notable sports career and the beginning of a new chapter amidst challenging circumstances.
