Camila Giorgi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkaːmila ˈdʒordʒi]; born 30 December 1991) is an Italian former professional tennis player. She had a career-high singles ranking of world No. 26, which was achieved on 22 October 2018. Giorgi was known for her aggressive style of play and powerful flat groundstrokes, and she was considered one of the hardest hitters of the ball on the tour.
After winning her first ITF title in 2009, Giorgi made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships. Giorgi reached 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. Giorgi reached her first WTA Tour final in 2014 at the Katowice Open, and then won her first title at the Rosmalen Open. She won the biggest title of her career at the 2021 National Bank Open in Montreal, defeating former world No. 1, Karolína Plíšková, in the final.
Giorgi was born in Macerata, Italy, parents Claudia Gabriella Fullone and Sergio Giorgi, an Argentine of Italian descent who emigrated to Italy from La Plata. Her father was drafted in Argentina in 1982 and fought in the Falklands War against the British, while her mother is a fashion designer. Her father coached her full-time while her mother designed her dresses for tennis matches. Giorgi is Jewish, and considered emigrating to Israel in 2012, after her father opened negotiations with the Israel Tennis Association (ITA) over the financial terms for her immigration to Israel. She has two brothers. Her sister, Antonela, died in a car accident in Paris in 2011.
Giorgi married coach Andreas Pasutti in February 2026. They had a child seven months later.
As of September 2013, the Giorgi family was based in the Italian city of Pisa. Giorgi is quadrilingual, speaking Spanish, Italian, French, and English.
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, Giorgi reached the final of the Nike Junior Tour, but was defeated by Zuzana Luknárová from Slovakia. Giorgi reached the final at the Sey Development Cup in the Czech Republic, and the round of 16 at the Astrid Bowl in Belgium.
2006–10: Early professional years
Giorgi started with $10k tournaments, and obtained her first significant results reaching two semifinals in Baku and Jakarta. At the end of the season, she took part in her first $25k tournament. She closed 2006 with ten wins and seven losses, and was ranked 944th in the WTA rankings. She obtained her best results in 2007 in September at Limoges in France, reaching the quarterfinals in a $10k tournament; then in $25k tournaments that she played at the end of the season, in December, in Lagos, Nigeria, where she reached the quarterfinals.
Giorgi started 2008 playing several tournaments in France, where she lived with her family.

At the beginning of the 2009 season, Giorgi played few tournaments, failing to qualify for the main draw. She achieved her first important results in April, when she qualified for and reached the quarterfinals of two $25k tournaments. After some successes in tournaments in France, Giorgi won her first ITF tournament in August, in Katowice ($25k), starting again from qualifying and defeating players such as Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová (ranked No. 105) and, in the final, Ksenia Pervak (No. 135). After another quarterfinal in Nantes ($50k), Giorgi ended with the victory in a $50k tournament in Toronto. With these two successes, she ended the year with 33 wins and 12 defeats, and reached No. 285 in the rankings.
The 2010 season began poorly for Giorgi, as she suffered three first-round losses in the first three months of the year. In June, she reached the final of a $25k tournament, in Bratislava. In the summer, she played several tournaments in America, where she went to live (in Miami, with her family), without remarkable results.

In February, Giorgi reached the semifinals at two ITF events, but her best result came in May, when she reached the final of a $50k tournament in Raleigh, North Carolina, and a week later triumphed in Carson ($50k), yielding a single set and dominating the semifinal with an unprecedented double bagel. In June, at Wimbledon, Giorgi passed the qualifiers and reached her first appearance in a major, but she lost in the first round to eventual quarterfinalist Tsvetana Pironkova. Giorgi reached semifinals of two other tournaments before closing the year with 36 wins and 21 defeats, and 149th in the WTA rankings, reaching her best ranking in October when she was No. 141 in the world.
