Wimbledon champion's coach suspended during investigation before Australian Open

news.yahoo.com — January 3, 2025 at 12:01 PM UTC

Stefano Vukov, the former coach of Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, has been provisionally suspended amid an investigation for a possible breach of the WTA Code. This comes shortly after Rybakina announced his return to her team for the 2025 season. Vukov's suspension means he cannot obtain a WTA credential, affecting his ability to be in Rybakina's player box during the Australian Open. Goran Ivanisevic is currently registered as her coach. The investigation into Vukov has been ongoing, with a decision expected before the Australian Open starts next week. Rybakina is set to compete against world No. 2 Iga Swiatek in her next match.
