Vukov

Vukov is a tennis coach who has been closely associated with Elena Rybakina since her teenage years. Despite a brief separation from coaching Rybakina before the 2022 US Open, he rejoined her team in early 2023. However, his provisional suspension led to complications with his accreditation at the Australian Open, affecting his ability to coach her during the tournament. Rybakina has expressed appreciation for Vukov's contributions, highlighting his ongoing support in various aspects of her game. His return to Rybakina's team has sparked discussions regarding her relationship with the WTA, particularly in light of her decision to refrain from participating in a ceremonial photo with WTA CEO Portia Archer.
