A female star who secretly stopped tennis last year has returned to the sport in a new role.
Camila Giorgi, 33, ran away from tennis and moved to America to start a career as a lingerie model.
Giorgi did not initially announce her retirement in May, but she was mentioned on the list of retired players of the International Tennis Integrity Agency and later confirmed that her gaming career was over.
Nine months later, Giorgi returned to tennis as a reporter at the Argentine Open of this week in Buenos Aires.
Giorgi has been noticed with the interviewing of players at the ATP 250 event less than a year after she has turned her into the sport.
Her shock mettes came in the midst of rumors that the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) could not have grabbed her for two months.

At that time, speculation was widespread on a reported relocation to the US, in which some suggested that she fled her homeland Italy in an attempt to avoid tax authorities.
The model, which has around 720,000 followers on Instagram, was subsequently accused of not paying rent and removing 'half of the furniture' from a rented villa in Calenzano, near Florence, by its injured former landlord.
Giorgi denied the allegations and explained her version of events in a TV interview in October.
Speaking at Verissimo van Canale 5, Giorgi said: 'Do I suddenly disappear? That is the version they said.
'I was not disappeared, I had to make an announcement in Paris about my withdrawal, then it came out on the anti-doping website that I had retired and the thing became public.
“I lived a bit in Italy and a bit in the United States. We stayed in Miami for 3 years. I would like to stay there forever, but I often come back to Italy, I just don't like to talk about what I am doing and it seems like I'm hiding … Now I'm happy, I'm where I would like to be. '
After months of uncertainty about her location, her lawyer Edmondo Tomaselli also claimed that she did not 'walk away'.
Tomaselli said Mail Sport that Giorgi also denies the allegations of its former landlord.
Giorgi is also investigated after accusations that she used a fake Covid vaccination certificate to open in the Australian in 2022, which she and her father are angry.
According to Bild, she is confronted with a trial about this case with her lawyer who says she is the judge to ask for a short lawsuit.
The lawyer added that Giorgi denies the accusations against her.
It came after the Italian doctor Daniela Grillone, who had been investigated by the authorities for supplying fake-Covid-19 vaccinations to deliver patients, claimed that Giorgi never received the puncture despite her in the second round.
At that time she said: 'I did everything they ask, the Australian government. Every year we think that's fine. Naturally. I have done all the vaccination, yes. '

Giorgi said she received one vaccination with grillone and completed the rest of her requirements with other doctors.
“The doctor has been an investigation (sic) and she had problems with the law a few times this year,” said Giorgi.
'I have just done all my vaccination in different places. So the problem is her. Not me. So that makes me very calm. '
Giorgi had won four titles on the WTA circuit and reached Wimbledon's quarterfinals in 2018 the achievement of a career-high world ranking of 26 that year.
