Camila Giorgi is not well-known for being one of the most gracious players in defeat. The Italian reached the final last week in New York when playing the Bronx Open after showing off some outstanding tennis for the entire week. However, Giorgi looked quite disappointed after she wasn’t able to win the title. Therefore, she was completely disappointed during the final ceremony to attract some criticism. Fast-forward a few days, and Camila was literally disintegrated in her opening match at the US Open by Maria Sakkari that beat her 6-1 6-0.
Giorgi’s handshake
Once at the net, the Italian gave a straight-harmed handshake that seemed to have the objective to push away her conqueror instead of congratulating the Greek.
Maria looked surprised, but she stayed classy, and she just celebrated her win.
