Giorgi told fans: "I'm so happy to be here, especially my first time in Mexico. What a surprise. This atmosphere — was an amazing week. What a final we did Rebecca."

With the full tournament prize money coming in at around £200,000, it won't however make too much of an impact on her career winnings of over £5million.

Off the court Giorgi isn't afraid to flaunt her figure on Instagram, which boasts 682k followers, having caused a storm in 2021.
When her lingerie snaps resurfaced online, one doubter said online: "Come on! You are gorgeous but do you really need to expose your body in public to boost your confidence?"
Giorgi has hit back by making more content for her hundreds of thousands of followers, while going from strength to strength on the court.
The win over former US Open champion Stephens raised eyebrows due to the manner of the victory, with Giorgi winning 6-0 6-0 to shock those in attendance.
When asked about her performance on court, the Italian simply replied: "Wow."
Her WTA victory comes after a run to the third round of the Australian Open, having reached the only Grand Slam quarter-final of her career so far at Wimbledon in 2018.
