There's no doubting Italian women's tennis star Camila Giorgi has talent, she's also an enigma and some would say kind of a sore loser.
And after strong recent form something better than a 6-1 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Greek 30th seed Maria Sakkari was probably expected in her
outing at the US Open.
But the world No. 48 fans was volatile, disinterested and quite honestly embarrassing as she was bundled out of the tournament in 57 minutes, hitting just six winners and winning less than a third of the points played in the rout.
Giorgi though didn't disappoint with the handshake as she delivered a brusque quick grab of Sakkari's hand and almost pushed the Greek star out of her way at the same time.
Naturally it sent tennis Twitter into a mini meltdown.
