Camila Giorgi is a Wimbledon quarterfinalist—not a Wimbledon watcher.

Contesting her 26th Grand Slam, the 26-year-old Italian swept Wimbledon doubles champion Ekaterina Makarova, 6-3, 6-4, to reach her first major quarterfinal at SW19.

Giorgi offered a simple reason why she won't be watching video scouting quarterfinal opponent Serena Williams: She doesn't watch tennis.

"I don't follow tennis, woman tennis, and I don't follow tennis," Giorgi told the media today. "But I think is going to be a good match."

Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena has swept all six sets she's played vs. Giorgi, including a hard-hitting 6-4, 7-5, victory in the 2016 Australian Open first round. This will be their first grass-court clash.

Pound for pound, the 5'6" Giorgi is one of the hardest hitters still standing in the field. She frequently fires second serves as fast as her first serve. The result can be a stinging stroke that sets up her first strike or an erratic serve that sets up her for self-implosion.

Giorgi's 119 mph serve equals quarterfinal opponent Serena and Naomi Osaka for the second-fastest serve of the tournament behind Venus Williams, who hit a 123 mph blast. 

The flip side is a rash of double faults. Giorgi leads the tournament with 38 double faults, but says she's committed to ultra-aggressive serving.

"I can't complain about my serve," Giorgi said. "I think it's a great shot, one of my best shots I think. I do more double mistakes because I push harder, so it gets more mistakes. It's my game to play more aggressive and do more mistakes, but I will not change that. Yes, to improve, but not change."
