Camila Giorgi, panic immediately broke out on social media: cat’s in the cradle here, no one saw this coming.
Those who have completed their season are resting in the most diverse locations. Someone flew to the Maldives, someone else chased the Northern lights, and someone else, still, preferred the mountains and fresh air to the sun and the ocean. Like our very own champion Jannik Sinner, for instance.
Who, on the other hand, was forced, for one reason or another, to close early, obviously skipped the winter vacations. This is the case of Matteo Berrettini, to name one, who, having been stationary for too long, for reasons certainly beyond his control, did not allow himself any elopement abroad in the company of girlfriend Melissa Satta. A separate discourse must be made, however, for Camila Giorgi, who like the Roman tennis player has been stationary for several weeks. An injury prevented her from closing the season together with her colleagues and participating in the Billie Jean King Cup, which we know was won, then, no matter how hard Italy tried, by the Canadian national team.
Despite the fact that the former number 1 of the Bel Paese “rested,” she did not want to give up her vacation. So much so that, for the past few days, she has been posting rather frequently photos of her in some warm but undefined place. The fact that she is in a bikini, however, suggests that she is far away and was evidently craving a mild climate and some relaxation.
Camila Giorgi, cat’s in the cradle here: what’s going on?
There would be nothing strange so far, except that a clue circulated on the web would seem to suggest that there is something else behind these apparently carefree shots.
According to Weibo reports, Camila would be one of 6 athletes who have not yet confirmed, at this time, their participation in the Australian Open. The others are Petra Kvitova, Bianca Andrescuu, Irina-Camelia Begu, Tatjana Maria and Belinda Bencic, whose absence was predictable, as she is expecting.
But what’s up with Giorgi instead? Could it be that she has not registered for her first Slam, with the deadline set for today of all days, Monday, December 4? We doubt, assuming what Weibo reports is true, that she has forgotten. Instead, it is more likely that she made an informed decision and that her absence is related, as a result, to some issue that we are not aware of. And which has, however, frightened the fans, who fear that something serious may be hiding behind this unexpected absence.
