Camila Giorgi, the new star of women's tennis or just another flash in the pan?
With wins in the past over the likes of Maria Sharapova and a steady rise up the WTA rankings over the past couple of years, are we seeing a young player who can at some point genuinely challenge the top players in the four majors and Masters 1000 events? or someone who will fall by the way side like others have sadly done?
With her huge, confident ground strokes, heavy, courageous serves (sometimes perhaps too courageous judging by the amount of double faults) and speed round the court, she already has a lot of weapons. What she seems to lack is control at certain times, a backhand slice and as with far too many of the female players, volleying ability and knowing when to come to the net. These things are not yet a major problem and being so young, there is ample time to iron out these faults and learn the things required to take her to a whole new level. In the meantime, her fearless, all out attack game makes her an exciting player and one to keep an eye on to see how far she goes.
