After her sudden retirement in 2024, rumors of her disappearance, and even a transformation into a lingerie model, Camila Giorgi (34, Italy), known as the "stormbringer" of women's professional tennis, is returning to the court as a mother.

British outlet The Sun reported on the 24th (Korean time) that Giorgi, a glamorous tennis star who once worked as a lingerie model and mysteriously vanished, is preparing for a dramatic comeback to active play after two years.

According to the report, Giorgi clearly expressed her intention to return during a Q&A session with fans on her social media. When asked if she planned to participate in tour events in the future, she replied, "Yes, in 2027." She gave the same answer to follow-up questions about the specific timing of her return, indicating that her comeback is not merely a concept but a concrete plan.

Giorgi's moves have always been unconventional. In May 2024, immediately after Italian authorities launched a tax evasion investigation and allegations of unpaid rent surfaced, she unexpectedly announced her retirement from active play and disappeared. At the time, the tennis world was in an uproar, with rumors even circulating that she had fled the country.

Giorgi later moved her residence to the United States and appeared on an Italian broadcast, explaining that it was not a flight but a permanent relocation, and that the tax evasion issue was a mistake by her former team's managers. After retiring, she also revealed that she was enjoying a second life as a lingerie model, leveraging her strong physique and striking looks, which drew significant attention. She also openly expressed her strong interest in fashion.

Giorgi experienced major changes in her personal life in early 2026. In February, she married Argentine tennis coach Andreas Ignacio Pasuti, and shortly after, she shared an ultrasound video on social media to announce her pregnancy. Recently, she revealed that the baby in her womb is a boy, receiving congratulations from fans.

Giorgi, who once won the 2021 Canadian Open and reached as high as world No. 26 (as of October 2018), is set to pick up her tennis racket again, drawing interest from fans around the world.

Giorgi's best result in a major tournament was reaching the quarterfinals in 2018. She also reached the quarterfinals at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. As Giorgi, who has left her glamorous off-court life behind to pick up her racket once more, is expected to enter a second prime as a "mother player," it remains to be seen whether she can achieve that.
