Martina Navratilova criticized Camila Giorgi's reaction during the match against Venus Williams at the Birmingham Classic.
18-time Grand Slam champion Martina Navratilova commented on the match between Venus Williams and Italian player Camila Giorgi. Williams emerged victorious with a score of 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(6) in a match that lasted over three hours, securing her first win against a top-50 opponent since 2019.
During the match, Venus Williams slipped while hitting a forehand shot when she was serving at 4-3, 30-30 in the first set, causing concern among the spectators. The American player already had a knee brace, and her injury struggles are well known. However, Giorgi continued the point and celebrated it with a shout.
Navratilova joined former Serena Williams coach Rennae Stubbs in criticizing Giorgi for her passionate celebration following the fall of the former world No. 1 player.
"Camilla Giorgi just yelled Si when @Venuseswilliams just fell over and screamed! I mean wtf !!! I honestly think that could be the lowest moment of her career!!!! And you NEVER want to see this face coming at you now! Come on Vee!" Stubbs tweeted.

"Oh it did. I even had to rewind the point to make sure it was her. Was so bad!" Stubbs responded.
"Wow! that's worse than what Bouzkova and Sorribes did at RG. Totally disgraceful," Navratilova added further.
