Camila Giorgi has been spotted in a new role at the Argentina Open.

Camila Giorgi has landed a surprise new role in tennis almost a year after her sudden retirement.
The former world No. 26 was accused of “fleeing Italy” following reports that authorities were looking to question her over gaps in her tax returns. She denied all the claims during a TV appearance last year.
Giorgi has now found work overseas, as she was spotted interviewing players at this week’s ATP 250 event in Buenos Aires.
Giorgi quietly ended her playing career last May. She did not announce her retirement but fans noticed she had been named on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s list of retired players.
The body oversees anti-doping testing protocols which are necessary to play professional tennis. The Italian later confirmed the news of her retirement on Instagram.
The story took a turn when Corriere della Sera reported that the WTA had not been able to contact Giorgi or her family to confirm the news of her retirement.
The Italian media later claimed that Giorgi fled to the USA with authorities in her homeland looking to question her regarding gaps in her tax returns.
Giorgi’s lawyers Federico Marini and Cristian Carmelo Nicotra addressed the reports and claimed she did not leave Italy to avoid questioning. They also denied suggestions that Giorgi’s retirement was linked to her unpaid tax.

“No intention of escaping investigations or responsibilities, indeed there has always been maximum transparency and collaboration when required,” they said.
“In any case Camila will soon return to Italy and will be able to give all the necessary explanations, also through her lawyers, in the competent offices.”
Giorgi and her father Sergio were also accused of stealing valuable furniture from a villa in Italy and leaving without paying six months of rent. She shut down all the claims during an appearance on Italian TV show Verissimo in October.
“The problems with the tax authorities? My family did not know about them, they were created by outside people who managed me and did this as a job,” she said.
“We did not flee for tax reasons. I never fled, I never spoke. We did not pay the rent and we took the furniture? The house had no furniture, we brought it ourselves.”
Four months after appearing on Italian TV, Giorgi has found work overseas in Argentina. The 33-year-old has joined forces with IEB+, the title sponsor of the Argentina Open.
She shared a photo of her accreditation for the tournament, listing her as an employee of IEB+, and interviewed the likes of Sebastian Baez and Guido Pella in an Instagram reel.
“Hello! We are here today at the IEB+ Open. I’m going to interview some players,” she said in the video, asking the players about their favourite matches and which banking apps they used.
She also encouraged her followers to download an app with a promotional offer.
In November, Giorgi revealed she had started living in Argentina, also sharing her relationship with Argentine politician Ramiro Marra. “I am not moving anymore,” she said on social media. “My boyfriend? I met him in his office, and it was love at first sight.”
