Tennis star gets racy on the ‘gram
Jewish tennis player’s racy pics cause a racquet on social media
Italian athlete Camila Giorgi racked up bonus fashion points ahead of the Australian Open, swapping her tennis shoes for a different kind of lace number as she shared some spicy boudoir pics on her Instagram channel earlier this month.
Although the knockout (wrong sports pun?) content was lapped up by a range of tennis sites and fans, it drew barbed reactions from social media commenters and other tennis followers. Sure as wickets (sorry, we swear we’ll get this right soon), a bunch of strangers around the world played the role of shamer, creep and general scold.
Italian journalist Stefano Cagelli took it upon himself to play the role of stereotypical worried Jewish parent, stoking concern that Giorgi didn’t have her head in the tennis game, suggesting that she might become noticed for the wrong reasons, and that she was taking time away from her vital tennis skills improvement.
Cagelli apparently didn’t realise that Giorgi already has Jewish parents – and one of them even designs her uber-chic “Giomila”-branded tennis outfits.
At any rate, Giorgi, who is currently ranked world no. 33 and is in Melbourne for the Australian Open, probably hasn’t had much time to check her social media lately.
Despite losing her third round match to Aussie Ash Barty, Giorgi is sure to be the one to beat in the style game (okay, we guess that word will sort of do).
