Here is all you need to know about Camila Giorgi, a tennis player who is accused of falsifying COVID-19 vaccination, know her ranking and biography
Camila Giorgi is in the news, but not really for her participation at the Australian Open 2023 but for something off the court.
A doctor who was detained for giving allocating fake COVID-19 vaccinations has accused Camila of getting fake proof of immunisation.
After defeating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round of the 2023 Australian Open on Tuesday, Camila Giorgi made an effort to address claims that she and her family had gotten phoney documentation of their COVID-19 vaccination.

In her post-match news conference, the former No. 26 in the world, who has minimal English language skills, was interviewed on several questions, including statements made by disgraced Dr Daniela Grillone, who was detained last year for giving fake COVID-19 vaccinations.
“I just did all my vaccination in different places.”
Giorgi acknowledged that she had only ever gotten one dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine from Grillone.
So, the trouble is hers. Not me. So, with that, I’m very calm. Of course, if not, I couldn’t come here and play this tennis, I think.”
Giorgi consistently rejected requests for clarification regarding whether she had entered the country using the documents provided by Grillone and whether the vaccinations she claimed to have received were specifically for COVID-19, claiming that her very presence in the nation was proof that she had acted legally when dealing with Australian immigration officials.
