Giorgi wins his first WTA 1,000 in Canada against Pliskova

Camila giorgi she will never forget this August 15, 2021. At 29 years old, the Italian has taken a giant step forward in her career by being proclaimed champion of a WTA 1,000 for the first time. He also did it as a debutant in the final round of a tournament of this category and before one of the great favorites for the title in the WTA 1,000 from Canada, Karolina Pliskova (6th). Giorgi ended her sensational week lifting the trophy against the Czech, whom she beat in two sets: 6-3 and 7-5 in 1 hour and 42 minutes of play.

The Italian, a tremendously aggressive player whose irregularity has deprived her on many occasions of reaching higher heights, cemented her victory with her serve: won 71% of points played with first serve, only awarded a break to Pliskova (she signed four breaks) and hit seven aces.

Perhaps this is a turning point in the trajectory of a Giorgi who is still in a good moment, due to form and age, to continue progressing in her tennis. It should be remembered that the tennis player from Macerata haven't won a tournament since October 2018 in Linz (Austria), nor played a final since the New York tournament in August 2019. Normal that it was impossible for him to contain the emotion with the achievement of the third title of his record, a WTA 1,000 that may soon open the doors of success to a tennis player who reached number 26 in the ranking (currently it is 71st) three years ago.
