Camila Giorgi would have spent the weekend with her colleague Varvara Lepchenko, one of her best friends. Just a while ago, Varvara wrote on a pic with Camila: “I think we’ve met before somewhere else.” In the new shot together, Camila wears a dress with a lace-trimmed top and micro shorts underneath.
Varvara’s outfit was much sportier, with a PSG jacket and jeans.
Camila at Roland Garros 2023
The second round match between Camila Giorgi and the number three seed Jessica Pegula at the Roland Garros 2023 ended after just 37 minutes.
The Italian player immediately appeared in difficulty from a physical point of view and badly lost the first four games of the match committing several double faults and gratuitous errors. After collecting only two games, Giorgi requested medical time out to test the condition of her knee; knee that started to cause her problems this year starting from the WTA 1000 in Madrid.
The long dialogue with the physiotherapist prompted the Italian to make a tough decision and withdraw from the challenge. Previously, Camila, in the first round match, beats the home player Alize Cornet, number 59 in the WTA ranking.
The Italian appeared from the first points in control of the match, aggressively dominating the game. The Italian does not shine in the service, but the French does worse, who had a very fluctuating performance in the service with six double faults, losing points in the crucial moments.
Although with a few minutes of amnesia, the former Canada Open champion managed to bring home a match that was not at all obvious. Giorgi said in the press conference: “It was a solid game. It wasn’t easy at the beginning. I faced a tennis player who has a different game than mine.
It wasn’t easy to pick up the pace. playing my game went well. That was also the key in the second set. I’ve been aggressive. At one point I was a bit lost and was playing defensively. Then I came back and played at my level. Playing here in Paris is fantastic.
It was a great game today, in every sense, because it wasn’t easy with a stadium against. It was a positive day. I’m gradually getting back into shape. The problem doesn’t go away overnight, so it’s a long process, but it’s okay, we’re working on it and my team is taking care of it. But I can tell it’s getting better.”
