Urgent:Camila Giorgi Rushed to the hospital in a critical condition
After answering a preliminary on-court query regarding her performance at the Merida Open Akron on Friday, Camila Giorgi said that as her first response. It was a fitting description following Giorgi’s lopsided quarterfinal victory against No. 2 seed Sloane Stephens, 6-0, 6-0.
Giorgi won 24 of 29 points and was unbeatable on serve. In each of her six trips to the line, she reached 40-15 or 400-0. Stephens, on the other hand, had three game points overall, including two in her first service game and one in her first serve game in set two. After just 47 minutes, Giorgi broke both times to take early set leads and sprinted forward.
The swinging By firing 12 wins to just five unforced errors, Giorgi ate up the conditions. Against the previous US Open champion, she improved to 4-2. On the WTA Tour, this was Giorgi’s first double-bagel victory. In 2011, she defeated Ashley Weinhold 6-0, 6-0 at tennis ITF $50,000 event in Carson, California. For the first time at any professional level, Stephens was unable to win a game in a full match.
Giorgi will face Katerina Siniakova in the semifinals. Elisabetta Cocciaretto, ranked seventh, lost to the No. 4 seed 6-1, 5-7, 6-0. American Caty McNally or qualifier Rebecca Peterson, who defeated top seed and Australian Open semifinalist Magda Linette to advance to the final four, will face the winner of Saturday’s matchup.
After missing the year’s first major tournament, Bianca Andreescu gave fans an update on her 2025 season, stating that she will return for the clay-court swing following appendix surgery. The 2019 US Open champion posted on her Instagram Stories, “I suddenly began to feel some acute pain in my stomach, which resulted in an emergency appendectomy.” “I am on the path to recovery, and the procedure went well.”
