Playing career
Giorgi was born in Macerata on 30 December 1991 to Argentine parents of Italian descent. Her father, Sergio, introduced her to tennis at five and coached her throughout her career. She came through qualifying to make her major debut at Wimbledon in 2011 and reached the fourth round there as a qualifier in 2012. Her first WTA title came on grass at 's-Hertogenbosch in 2015. She added Linz in 2018, the year she reached a career-high No. 26 and the Wimbledon quarter-finals; Montreal in 2021, beating KarolÃna PlÃÅ¡ková 6-3, 7-5 for the biggest title of her career; and Merida in 2023.
She last played at the Miami Open in March 2024. In May 2024 her name appeared on the International Tennis Integrity Agency's list of retired players, and she then confirmed her retirement on Instagram. Italian press reports at the time said her family was under investigation over tax, which she has denied. In April 2026, newly married and expecting her first child, she said she planned to return to the tour in 2027.
