The Italian star is currently out in the United States competing at this month’s BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. She took on fellow European star Arantxa Rus of Netherlands in her first round match, and came away with an impressive victory.

Giorgi eased passed her opponent Rus, winning the match in straight sets 6-3, 6-3. The 31-year-old model had headed into the tournament in hot form, after securing her first title in two years at the Merida Open in Mexico last week.

The Italian star defeated Rebecca Peterson 7-6, 1-6, 6-2 in the final to become champion. It capped off quite the run for Giorgi, who impressively beat three seeded players on the road to reaching the final against Peterson.

The most remarkable win came as she blew away No. 2 seed and former US Open champion Sloane Stephens without dropping a game, whitewashing the American star 6-0, 6-0. She also saw off sixth seed Mayar Sherif and fourth seed Kateřina Siniaková.

After her victory, the Italian star admitted she was as a surprised as anyone to become champion and end her two-year wait for a title. She said post-match: “I’m so happy to be here, especially my first time in Mexico. What a surprise. This atmosphere — was an amazing week.”

The 27-year-old is no doubt keen to continue this rich vein of form in California, especially after her opening round victory. Giorgi will continue her tournament at Indian Wells on Friday, when she takes on third seed Jessica Pegula.
