A female star who left tennis secret last year has returned to sport in a new role.
Camila Giorgi, 33, moved away from tennis and moved to the United States to start a career as a lingerie model.
Giorgi did not initially announce his retirement last May, but was appointed in the list of retired players of the International Tennis Integrity Agency, and then confirmed that his career as a player was over.
Nine months later, Giorgi has returned to tennis as a reporter at the Argentine Open this week in Buenos Aires.
Giorgi has been seen interviewing players at the ATP 250 event less than a year after returning to sport.
His retirement shock occurred in the midst of rumors that the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) had not been able to reach it for two months.

At that time, speculation abounded by a transfer reported to the United States, and some suggested that he fled his native Italy in an attempt to evade tax authorities.
The model, which has around 720,000 followers on Instagram, was accused of not paying the rent and eliminating the “half of the furniture” of a rented villa in Calenzano, near Florence, by its former owner aggrieved.
Giorgi denied the accusations and explained his version of the events in a television interview in October.
Speaking in Verissimo de Canale 5, Giorgi said: 'Did I suddenly disappear? That is the version they said.
'I did not disappear, I had to make an ad in Paris on my retirement, then it came out on the anti -doping website that I had retired and the thing became public.
'He lived a little in Italy and a little in the United States. We stayed in Miami for 3 years. I would like to stay there forever, but I often return to Italy, I just don't like to talk about what I do and it seems that I am hiding … now I am happy, I am where I would. I like being.
After months of uncertainty about his location, his lawyer Edmondo Tomaselli also said he did not “fled.”
Tomaselli told Mail Sport that Giorgi also denies the accusations made by his former owner.
Giorgi also remains under investigation after accusations that he used a Covid Fake vaccination certificate to enter the Australian Open in 2022, that she and her father denied angrily.
According to Bild, he faces a trial about this case with his lawyer saying that he is ready to ask the judge for a shortened judgment.
The lawyer added that Giorgi denies that the accusations were leveled against her.
It occurred after the Italian doctor Daniela Grillone, who had been investigated by the authorities for allegedly delivering false vaccines COVID-19 to the patients, claimed that Giorgi never received the jab despite her presentation in the second round.
At that time he said: 'I did everything they ask for, the Australian government. Every year we are well with that. Of course. I did the whole vaccine, yes.

Giorgi said he received a vaccination with Grillone and completed the rest of his requirements with other doctors.
“The doctor has been investigated (sic), and she had problems this year with the law several times,” said Giorgi.
'I just did all my vaccination in different places. So the problem is yours. I don't. So with that, I'm very calm.
Giorgi had won four titles in the WTA circuit and reached Wimbledon's quarterfinals in 2018, achieving a world ranking of 26 of his career that year.
