If you missed Giorgi at Wimbledon, you missed a treat. This young qualifier is the real deal and sure to be back. If you can hit your ground strokes hard, low and deep into the corners off of both wings, you can win Wimbledon. That's not to say she will but Giorgi certainly has the necessary weaponry. Add to that a rock solid composure and we may well have a future star on our hands. I'd say the first order of business will be to work on the second serve. Match experience will help more than anything, though, and her fourth round run should boost her ranking enough that she won't have to go through qualifying for a while.
