Camila Giorgi finds new job in Argentina after accusation of fleeing from Italy to avoid criminal investigations
WTA
Former Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi has started an interesting job, just months after some serious accusations. The 33-year-old retired mysteriously last year after losing to current world number two Poland’s Iga Swiatek in the second round of the Miami Open.
After her retirement, there were accusations against her where it was claimed that she flew the country to avoid paying unpaid tax. Those accusations were denied by her lawyers Federico Marini and Cristian Carmelo Nicotra. They did not only deny that the former world number 26’s retirement was not because of such allegations and confirmed that she would return to the country to face any investigation regarding such accusations.
“No intention of escaping investigations or responsibilities, indeed there has always been maximum transparency and collaboration when required,” they said. “In any case Camila will soon return to Italy and will be able to give all the necessary explanations, also through her lawyers, in the competent offices.”
Giorgi has now mysteriously appeared to be working as a presenter in Argentina with IEB+, the title sponsors of the Argentina Open. The Macerata-born shared the development in a post on her official account on the social media platform Instagram and later shared reels as well, in which she interviewed several players, including local favourite Sebastian Baez.

Giorgi and her father, just four months ago in October, were accused of stealing valuables from the villa they were living in. They were further accused of not paying six months of rent of the villa before leaving. She denied those rumours in an interview with an Italian TV channel.
“The problems with the tax authorities? My family did not know about them, they were created by outside people who managed me and did this as a job,” she said. “We did not flee for tax reasons. I never fled, I never spoke. We did not pay the rent and we took the furniture? The house had no furniture, we brought it ourselves.”

- No, writer, we were not "stunned". If you knew your business you would have been aware of her statement last weekend re: her knee and retirement. The main take-away here is that Simona went out on her own terms. She surely wanted to play again after WTA & ITIA screwed her out of her final productive seasons. Personally, I believed she was going to make this announcement when I saw the President and his family in their box seats. Good for Simone -- now she can move on to other things as she said she would.mandoist04-02-2025
- It sounds seriously absurd that in Davis Cup, (unlike Grand Slams such as the Aus Open), medical time outs off court with the medical staff are not allowed?? I mean, if this was an Aus Open match, and the same thing happened to Gurin then, he would have been able to go off court for official medical time out and make an informed decision whether to resume the match or retire. How come such conditions do not apply in Davis Cup?? I mean, there with Davis Cup, it is even more like a soccer match or basketball game in that teams are playing. And so as with those, it ought to be the case in tennis that if a player needs serious medical time out, then one of the other team mates ought to substitute and each team needs to have stand-ins or understudies in case substitution is needed which will be rare but as we can see here, this kind of circumstance fits. But even if the teams do not go down the road of subbing other team mates in, in case of a health issue like the one which played out here, at least, as in the Aus Open and other Grand Slams, there ought to be time-outs with the health professionals and at the conclusion of these time-outs, the particular decision that has been reached between them and the player needs to be taken on board by the umpire. PERIOD.
Sueiyin04-02-2025 - "If Novak did this, he would be defaulted for life. WTF." 🤣 WTF sounds like What Tennis Fury?! What Tennis Flurry??! I mean, se-rious-ly, it was actually the unfairness of the silly umpire's decision that is the issue here! Further, how come it was Gurin & his team who got disqualified? If this kind of thing happens in soccer, it would be the other guy getting the yellow or red card! Because after all, it was the Belgian who's foul it was so why then penalize the opponents for something they didn't instigate? Fouls in both basketball and soccer are read as a hinderance that has been caused by the player who INITIALLY instigated the hinderance. In this case, okay, it is tennis, but while the precise rules are different to either soccer or basketball, the same type of recognition as to whoever instigates a hinderance should apply, and in this case, it was the Belgian player.Sueiyin04-02-2025
