Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, says she disagrees with the WTA Tour’s decision to provisionally suspend her longtime coach, Stefano Vukov, and reiterated that she never made a complaint about him.

Elena Rybakina defends suspended coach Stefano Vukov - Rybakina announced earlier this month she has rehired Vukov, who is provisionally suspended by the WTA.

World number five Elena Rybakina has hit back at former doubles world number one Pam Shriver regarding her comments about her former coach Stefano Vukov.

Vukov is barred from obtaining coaching or Grand Slam credentials, but Rybakina wants him back on her team — and could boycott the WTA.

Elena Rybakina repeated in her Australian Open pre-tournament press conference that she was "never mistreated" by Stefano Vukov and also blasted Pam Shriver for making some claims when she even doesn't know her personally.

A Russian tennis insider dropped a bombshell as Stefano Vukov is reportedly set to accompany Elena Rybakina during the Australian Open. In August - just three days before the start of the US Open - the world No. 6 fired her coach of five years under mysterious circumstances.

Vukov cannot coach while under investigation and Tennis Australia will not issue him with an accreditation for the upcoming Australian Open.

Stefano Vukov, coach of former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, has been provisionally suspended due to a breach of WTA’s Code of Conduct, the governing body for women’s tennis confirmed on Friday.

The former Wimbledon champion has spoken out after her coach was provisionally banned before the Australian Open.

Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, said Saturday she disagrees with the WTA Tour's decision to provisionally suspend her longtime coach, Stefano Vukov, and reiterated that she never made a complaint about him.
