Emma Raducanu and Camila Giorgi have recently been scrutinized by the Italian press after recently competing for the results they show on the tennis court.

The Italian press believes that beauty is an obstacle for the two. “The British and the Italians have more in common than some people think. Beauty is a flaw that people on social media can’t seem to accept. Charms being used against them in one way or another, as if it was the cause of all their defeats. The criticism of Emma after the photos from the sessions clearly proves that she is treated the same as Camila. Giorgi and Reducana are paid for being beautiful,” wrote the Italian journalists “Il Veggente”.

Emma Reducanu and Camila Giorgi have never met before in WTA tournaments.
