Breaking News: Elena Rybakina was spotted with her banned ex-coach, Stefano Vukov, at a private club ahead of the clay swing…
Elena Rybakina has sparked controversy after being spotted with her former coach, Stefano Vukov, at a private club just before the clay court season.
The sighting is significant because Vukov had been dismissed by Rybakina in early 2024 after facing criticism for his harsh coaching style. The two were seen training together despite Vukov being effectively banned from coaching her at WTA events.
Reports suggest that Vukov has remained in contact with Rybakina’s current coach, Davide Sanguinetti, raising questions about his ongoing influence over her career.
This unexpected reunion has drawn mixed reactions, as many believed their professional relationship had ended for good.
Some former players and analysts have commented that Rybakina’s decision to reconnect with Vukov could signal unresolved issues or a potential return to their past dynamic.
With the clay season approaching, this development could impact Rybakina’s preparation and performance.
Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see whether this meeting was a one-time occurrence or a sign of a renewed partnership.
