context_page_description: Camila Giorgi is an Italian professional tennis player. She made her senior international tournament debut in 2006 at the ITF Women's Circuit. After winning her first ITF title in 2009, she made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships.
  Giorgi went on to reach the fourth round of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships in just her second appearance at the tournament. After her successful run at the championships, she made her top-100 debut in the WTA rankings. The following year, she followed it up with a third round run at the Wimbledon Championships, and made her second Grand Slam fourth round at the US Open. She reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, six years after her Wimbledon breakout tournament. Giorgi reached her first WTA final in 2014 at the Katowice Open and then won her first title at the 2015 Topshelf Open. She reached her best singles ranking of world No. 26 in October 2018.
  Giorgi is known for her aggressive style of game and her powerful flat groundstrokes, and is considered to be one of the hardest hitters of the ball on the tour.
context_section_description: Following an initial interest in artistic gymnastics, Giorgi decided to devote herself to tennis after assisting in her brother's training, when she was five years old. She was subjected to hard training by her father, Sergio. Two years later, 1976 French Open champion Adriano Panatta said of her: "It's the first time I play a girl who plays like Andre Agassi." In 2000, she was spotted by tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, who subsequently offered her seven months of training (previously offered only to Maria Sharapova).
  In November 2005, she reached the final of the Nike Junior Tour, but was defeated by Slovakia's Zuzana Luknarova. Giorgi reached the final at the Sey Development Cup in the Czech Republic, and the round of 16 at the Astrid Bowl in Belgium.
