Italian tennis star Camila Giorgi who reached the Wimbledon quarter finals is targeted by sexist trolls who say her raunchy lingerie snaps make her look more like a ‘porn star than an athlete’
Tennis star Camila Giorgi has been targeted by sexist trolls after sharing a series of racy lingerie snaps on social media – with critics accusing her of looking like a ‘porn star’ rather than an athlete.
The professional player, 29, from Italy, who reached the Wimbledon quarter finals in 2018 and is set to play in the Australian Open next month, was once ranked number 26 in the world and boasts over 308,000 followers on Instagram.
She recently posted ‘sensual’ photos of herself posing in lacy underwear on the social media platform, but was met with a barrage of criticism including one commenter who wrote: ‘Come on! You are gorgeous but do you really need to expose your body in public to boost your confidence?’
Another wrote: ‘From a tennis player to a porn actress on a set.’
A flood of comments on the recent photographs questioned the move towards posting more alluring snaps.
One person wrote: ‘Lovely Camila, does this mean your tennis career is over?’
