I get why people dislike Djokovic, and I agree with some of the reasons, but then he does something like this & I think it's too bad he can't show off this side of his personality more often.

Agree. That was a good response to an event that got too much ink. Good for hi.

About Giorgi:
The beautiful memories? You played all tour matches in your life as if you were getting a root canal treatment. Beautiful memories?

Remember there were a lot of stories about how her father had swindled people out of money by asking them to endorse her and then never paying back.
So if she is evading paying taxes, there should be no surprises.
And going to the US? Not a good idea. The USA have treaties with the EU. Try Brasil, Cami.

Recently retired tennis player Camila Giorgi on the run from Italian tax authorities, per report
Scooby Axson
USA TODAY
This week, Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi, who achieved a ranking of No. 26 in the world, abruptly retired without a statement giving a reason why.

On Saturday, La Gazzetta dello Sporto, an Italian newspaper, reported that retirement is not a coincidence.

According to the report, The Guardia di Finanza, Italy's financial police, is looking for Giorgi and investigating her nonpayment of taxes and undeclared income.

Authorities are also investigating Giorgi's family members, including her mother, father and two brothers, all of whom are alleged to have "gaps" in their tax return filings.

Camila Giorgi serves against Magdalena Frech on Day 3 of the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on March 20, 2024.
Giorgi, 32, has not been seen since her retirement was announced May 7. The last time she competed in a tournament was last month at the Miami Open, where she was routed 6-1, 6-1 by Iga Swiatek in the second round.

Giorgi is already under investigation for allegedly forging her COVID-19 vaccine documentation to gain entry to the 2022 Australian Open and was scheduled to appear before a judge in Italy on July 16.


According to the newspaper report, Giorgi and her family are on the run and are believed to be in the United States.

It's a family affair.
