Emma Raducanu has no doubts about Camila Giorgi’s value

The winner of the last Us Open spoke in flattering terms about the Macerata beauty

If the Canadian concrete, in Montreal, left one baffled by the lackluster performance of Matteo Berrettini – who came out unexpectedly in only two sets against Pablo Carreño Busta – the one trodden by Camila Giorgi in Toronto has, to say the least, thrilled. The great performance of the Macerata tennis player – who annihilated the better-ranked Emma Raducanu in two sets – did not go unnoticed even in the eyes of the defeated, who issued honeyed words towards the 30-year-old Italian.

“I honestly think it was a really good match. I think the level was pretty high. Especially in the first set. And Camila is a great opponent. It’s no coincidence that she won this tournament last year. I just need to get better at facing players who play as fast as she does,” the Briton began in the hours after the match.

She could not miss a comment on the news of the early retirement of Serena Williams, one of the icons of contemporary tennis and beyond: “Her career is incredible. She has achieved so much. I think she definitely changed the game. To dominate so much I think there has only been her-there really hasn’t been anyone who has dominated like her in women’s tennis. So I think she has changed the game a lot in that sense,” he concluded.
