Camila Giorgi begins to meet expectations |Puntodebreak
Three years later, Camila Giorgi returned last weekend to lift a WTA title.It was in Linz, where he managed to win his second title in his career, reaping the fruits of what has been the best season of his life: best result in Grand Slam (quarterfinals in Wimbledon), WTA title and best ranking of hisCarrera (28).The Italian, one of the most peculiar profiles of the circuit, has managed to create stability and maturity in its day to day.Entrs expectations, injuries and past controversies, Giorgi seems to compete quieter than ever.
Always in the shadow of his father Sergio, mentor and coach, also the only trainer of his tennis since he hit a ball for the first time, the whole around Giorgi has been airtight, or the less heterodox.He never received external advice, despite his serious problems with the service, and never, until 2016, he brought any sponsor or associated with any brand -the dresses were sewn by his mother -.Although his tennis gave off a different energy, especially in grass, his career did not finish taking off, despite having victories of a huge impact -Sharapova in Indian Wells 2014-.
Always inside the TOP-100 but far from the top-20, Giorgi competed in a temperate area, too much for that brilliant capacity to generate speed in all its shots, one of its hallmarks.In 2016 he signed with a brand to sponsored his clothes in the Grand Slams, while, in his speech, there was a mixture of maturity and dose of sincerity that do not usually fit into a sport in which terms such as passion or dedication are related toThe fan and the best competitors.
"I'm much more mature now.I have gone through many negative experiences with injuries, I have more games like baggage and I feel stronger.Years ago I felt like a girl in a very competitive world.I know how Serena plays but I never see tennis games.For me, this sport is simply my job.I train, I compete and in my free time I move away from everything related to tennis, ”explained Giorgi hours before his meeting against Serena Williams in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2018.
Along the way, many problems with the Italian Federation, with whom Giorgi refused to collaborate and play for Italy in international competitions, with sanctions, judgments and rectifications in between.Camila refused to play Fed Cup in 2016, the Fit sanctioned her with 30.000 euros and 9 months of suspension.Giorgi denounced and won in court.Recently, everything seemed to calm down."I recognize my mistake by refusing to play with the national team.I want this misunderstanding to be clarified definitively and can be part of the Italian team ".
It is the calm that seems to move the present of Giorgi, which is going to rest -his season is over -with the duties done better than ever."I think this title is very important for me for the future.I go here very happy for the level I have shown in Linz.I have played very solid with my service in recent days and I think I deserved this title.Despite what the scorers say, the final against Alexandrova has been very complicated and I had to pull my best tennis to be able to get victorious.I am in a positive moment of my life, not only on the track but also out of it.I have worked a lot and that work is being expressed.I feel much calmer on the track, even when I challenge errors, and that did not happen to me before ".
