US EditionRybakina's Former Coach Vukov Cleared to Return From WTA Ban
ONTARIO, CANADA, AUG 9 – Stefano Vukov's ban was lifted after an appeal following a four-month investigation into alleged abusive conduct toward Elena Rybakina, allowing his return ahead of the French Open.
- Stefano Vukov, who coaches Elena Rybakina—the Wimbledon winner of 2022—has been authorized by the WTA to end his suspension that began in January due to a code of conduct matter.
- The suspension followed an investigation into allegations of abuse of authority and conduct toward Rybakina, which Vukov appealed successfully ahead of the French Open this summer.
- During the suspension, Rybakina stated she disagreed with the WTA's decision and confirmed she worked with Vukov between events despite the ban and rehired him before the Australian Open.
- The WTA reiterated its dedication to maintaining a safe environment and noted that any sanctions imposed are thoroughly reviewed and can be challenged through an independent appeal process, while Vukov has had his credentials reinstated, allowing him entry to restricted zones and training facilities at WTA tournaments.
- Vukov's reinstatement allows him to resume coaching activities officially, which may influence Rybakina's performance going forward, as they remain closely connected professionally.
