However, she continued to express her support for Stefano Vukov, despite the ban preventing him from coaching on the practice courts.
“It’s not ideal that he cannot be on the practice courts with me, but we have to adapt,” Rybakina said ahead of her Qatar Open campaign. “I’ve been working with Davide and we are trying to make the best of the situation. Stefano is still a part of my team and we communicate regularly.”
It remains to be seen how Elena Rybakina will navigate this challenging period in her career and whether she can maintain her status as one of the top players on the WTA tour.
