Camila Giorgi will return to professional tennis after becoming a mother. The 34-year-old Italian is pregnant, continues to train in Mallorca, and has already started planning her comeback to the WTA circuit.

She does not want to rush, has not set a specific date yet, and does not intend to repeat past formulas. If something has changed in the life of the former world number 26, it is precisely that: this time, everything will be different. Giorgi is expecting to give birth in early September and, in the meantime, maintains a work routine that speaks volumes about her intentions.

"I have been training seriously for several months. I also have a trainer and a team with me," explains the Italian in Eurosport. The priority, obviously, is the baby and its well-being, which is why she is under the care of several doctors. But tennis is already regaining an important place in her life.

"There is a very structured plan towards the comeback. I do not like to act on instinct off the court. I want everything to be done with logic and with a precise program," she asserts. Her plan now involves temporarily stopping preparation after childbirth, completing recovery, and gradually returning to competition.

Giorgi's confidence in her physical condition is absolute. "I do not think I will have trouble getting back in shape, considering I am training about three hours a day," she states. This declaration clearly indicates that her return is not a passing whim or a mere possibility thrown into the air. The Italian is preparing to make a comeback.

However, the most significant change is not only in her personal life but also directly affects her team. Throughout almost her entire career, her father, Sergio Giorgi, was a central figure in her professional trajectory. Now, the former Italian tennis player announces that this relationship will change radically.

"My father will only be a grandfather, that's enough. When the time comes, I will announce my team, but it will be a completely different situation from the past. It's a different comeback, with a completely new perspective," reflects the former World No. 26

Her husband, Andreas Ignacio Pasutti, an Argentine coach and former coach of several players, will be one of the important figures in this new phase. The couple got married in Buenos Aires on February 26, and according to Giorgi herself, he is now the one who is closest to her, especially during the pregnancy. "We will schedule dates, trips, and tournaments after. One step at a time," she explains.

And that seems to be the big change in the new Camila Giorgi. The player who for years lived tennis with fierce intensity, under a strongly marked family structure, and with a playing style as explosive as it was unpredictable, now talks about planning, patience, and perspective.

When will Camila Giorgi return to the circuit?

Giorgi has a rough idea of the path but does not want to reveal all the details yet. Her desire is to return in an Italian tournament and start with minor competitions before rejoining the main circuit. "The idea will be to play many small tournaments first and, when I am a hundred percent, return to the circuit. I have my plan quite clear, but I do not want to reveal too much," she acknowledges.

The Italian insists that her retirement was never a definitive goodbye. "I am just quite reserved and share little about my life. I took a break from this sport because I wanted to do other things in life," she explains. Now those other things have changed her perspective. Giorgi will be a mother and return to compete with a different team, a different mindset, and renewed motivation. Perhaps that's why her return is not simply an attempt to regain the tennis player she was. The real challenge may be discovering who the new Camila Giorgi is when she picks up a racket again.
