In a recent interview, she shared that the “physical and mental effort” of traveling and the pressure of matches led her to permanently retire from her career in May of this year before fleeing Europe to live in the U.S.
At the time, rumors emerged that her escape from Europe could be due to an alleged tax evasion of over 446,000 euros, which she vehemently denied. “I never ran away! It wasn’t an escape. When I read that, I had to laugh. We didn’t leave Italy because of tax evasion. Maybe the problem is that I don’t talk much,” Giorgi stated.
In an interview with the Italian TV channel Canale 5, she spoke about her financial issues. “My lawyer caused me a lot of problems that I didn’t know about until all these suspicions arose. My family was not aware of this situation. Other people advised me; it was their job.”
Giorgi, who has over 700,000 followers on Instagram, admitted she had thought about quitting tennis “for years.” “I always took a break for a few months and then returned to the court. But now I couldn’t handle the physical and mental strain of traveling and the pressure anymore. I have been living in Miami for three years, and now I’ve moved there permanently. My parents are in California,” the star added.
