The Italian was coached by her father Sergio, recognizable by his imposing white hair and a controversial figure on the women’s circuit due in particular to his angry outbursts against the referees.
Giorgi won the National Bank Montreal Open in 2021 and reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 2018 and the Tokyo Olympic tournament in 2021.
