It came after Italian doctor Daniela Grillone, who was investigated by authorities for allegedly delivering fake Covid-19 vaccinations to patients, claimed Giorgi never received the jab despite being present in the second round used to be.

Proof of a Covid vaccination was a requirement for entry into the country – with Novak Djokovic infamously deported from Australia the same year after refusing to take the jab.

At the time, she said, “I did everything they asked of the Australian government,” Giorgi told reporters on Tuesday.

‘Every year we think that’s fine. Naturally. I have done all the vaccinations, yes.’

Giorgi said she received one vaccination with Grillone and completed the rest of her requirements with other doctors.

‘The doctor has done some research [sic]and she’s been in trouble with the law a few times this year,” Giorgi said.

‘I just did all my vaccinations in different places. So the problem lies with her. Not me. So I’m very calm in that respect.

Giorgi’s father Sergio attended Tuesday’s press conference, became indignant at the series of questions, indicated to the moderator that he wanted journalists to ask about the match and told reporters he “didn’t like your questions.”
