ELENA RYBAKINA’S long-time coach Stefano Vukov remains banned by the WTA following the conclusion of an investigation.

The governing body revealed last month that the Croatian was provisionally suspended from holding an official role at tournaments after Rybakina announced he was rejoining her team.

Concerns have been raised over several years regarding Vukov’s behaviour towards Rybakina, who he coached to the Wimbledon title in 2022.
