The 33-year-old Italian, who officially retired from professional tennis last year, has now re-emerged as a reporter at the ATP 250 event in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Once ranked as high as world No.26, Giorgi’s retirement became public when her name appeared on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s list of retired players in May 2023.
Her transition from tennis to the media world follows a whirlwind year filled with allegations, including claims that she owed months of unpaid rent for a luxury villa in Calenzano, near Florence. There were also whispers about her allegedly dodging tax authorities—claims she has firmly denied.
From lingerie model to tennis reporter
Since bidding farewell to professional tennis, Giorgi relocated to the United States, where she pursued a career as a lingerie model. However, her passion for the sport has brought her back in a new role. At the Buenos Aires tournament, she has been conducting interviews with top players, including Argentina’s sixth seed, Sebastián Báez, and proudly shared glimpses of her new career on Instagram.
Posting a video of her interview with Báez, along with a snapshot of her official accreditation, Giorgi appears to be embracing this unexpected career pivot with confidence.
