The drama is over, or this is just the beginning. The WTA has been restored Stefano VukovControversial coach of World No. 10 Elena RybakinaAfter a suspension linked to a possible violation of the code of conduct.
Vukov was provisionally suspended in January, while the WTA investigated the case. In February, the organization confirmed that the investigation was completed and that the suspension would continue, without specifying its duration.
The WTA has now announced that Vukov is again eligible to receive login details that give him access to player areas and the practice of courts during touring events. In recent months, Vukov continued to collaborate with Rybakina, but strict limitations meant that they could not meet each other on official tournament sites. He was excluded from entering changing rooms, sitting in her player box or access to other areas mentioned.
“The WTA is fully committed to offering a safe and respectful environment for all athletes and other participants, as set out in our WTA behavioral code and security code,” the Tour said in a statement. “All sanctions issued after a violation of these security rules are carefully considered and are subject to appeal for an independent tribunal. Although case details remain confidential, we can confirm that Mr Vukov is eligible to receive login data at WTA events.“
The role of Vukov at Rybakina has attracted attention in recent years. The Kazakhstani star announced last year that he would no longer be part of her team, only to confirm later for the Australian Open that he returned as her coach. The Wimbledon champion 2022 has consistently claimed that he never mistreated her during their professional relationship.
Rybakina recently reached the semi -final of the Omnium Banque Nationale in Montreal, where she was defeated by the Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko, who was going to win the tournament. (Via: ESPN))
