Elena Rybakina has publicly supported her former coach, Stefano Vukov, as the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) investigates him for an alleged code of conduct breach. Rybakina disagrees with the WTA's actions and states she has never complained about Vukov. The WTA has confirmed the investigation and has provisionally suspended Vukov. This suspension prevents him from accessing player areas at the Australian Open, despite his plans to attend the tournament. Rybakina, the sixth seed in Melbourne, emphasized that Vukov never mistreated her during their time together.
