The doctor said 31-year-old Giorgi initially suffered from "so-called tennis elbow."
Then last summer, she allegedly asked the doctor about getting false documentation for all mandatory vaccines, which included COVID.

"I can confirm with absolute certainty that none of the vaccines against the Giorgi family have actually been administered," Grillone said, per Yahoo! News Australia.
Giorgi is in the midst of an investigation for allegedly receiving falsified vaccination proof documentation. The doctor herself isn't free of controversy, after being arrested last February for allegedly giving fake serum shots, News.com.au reported, something Grillone said she deeply regrets.
In a statement to News.com.au, the Women's Tennis Association said it's aware of the allegations against Giorgi and is "currently monitoring the situation and any investigations that may be brought forward."
Giorgi is currently ranked 66th in the world and previously competed at last year's U.S Open and Australian Open, which required proof of vaccination in order to compete.
The Italian player is slated for this year's Australian Open set to begin Jan. 16. Travellers no longer need to provide proof of vaccination to enter Australia.
