Camila Giorgi shares French Open message following dress drama

Camila Giorgi is grateful for her experience at the 2022 French Open.

In a message shared Monday on her Instagram Story, the Italian tennis player — who was at the center of a recent logo controversy — wrote, “Merci Paris,” or “thank you, Paris,” alongside a photo of herself from the tournament.

Giorgi’s run at the French Open came to an end Monday after her fourth-round loss to Daria Kasatkina of Russia, 6-2, 6-2.

Two days before her fourth-round match against Kasatkina, Giorgi sported a logo across her chest that promoted the kitchen appliance company, DeLonghi. An umpire appeared to take issue with the size of the logo that appeared on her dress.

“I don’t have any change, this is my only dress. I played with it before,” Giorgi allegedly said, according to News.com.au.

For her match Monday against Kasatkina, Giorgi did wear a DeLonghi logo, but on the sleeve of her dress instead. The 30-year-old also gave the company a shoutout Monday in an Instagram Story.
