Troubling news has emerged just hours after Elena Rybakina surprised the world by announcing the return of Stefano Vukov to her team. The WTA has been forced to announce that they are conducting an investigation into the coach for allegedly violating the Code of Conduct. The Kazakh player has tried to deny all accusations made against him.

A sense of suspicion always loomed over Stefano Vukov during his time as a coach for Elena Rybakina. The coach didn't hold back in displaying an attitude that was more than demanding towards his player, engaging in evident disrespect and actions that could easily be seen as intimidating and demeaning. The Kazakh never said a bad word about him and always seemed to have a great dependence on the man who led her to glory, but their professional split a few months ago was applauded by many on the circuit.

- Rybakina has tried to deny all accusations surrounding Vukov

What nobody expected was that on the first day of the new year, with Goran Ivanisevic as coach, Rybakina announced that Stefano Vukov was returning to her team. As TheAthletic indicates, Elena has never been able to fully detach from her coach and has remained in constant communication, speaking before and after matches. It is unknown whether Goran is aware of this and approves, but upon the news, the WTA has been forced to bring to light an ongoing investigation against Vukov.

While being investigated for a potential violation of the WTA Code of Conduct, the coach cannot practice his profession, so it is expected that Elena Rybakina will reverse course. Despite criticism from many in the circuit who have witnessed Stefano's behaviors with his player, the Kazakh player has always refuted the accusations and has tried to exonerate her coach so he can return with her.

On the other hand, the coach has vehemently denied these accusations, of which no further details are known. Everything indicates that it involves disrespectful behavior of Stefano Vukov towards Elena Rybakina, which has been reported by third parties, but it is expected that a resolution of the case will soon be known, shedding light on the specific reasons that prompted the investigation.

Meanwhile, it seems that the coach intends to travel to Australia, even if he cannot obtain the credential to accompany Elena Rybakina in the box as a coach, something that could spark a major controversy and put the player in the media spotlight. Currently, the Kazakh is competing in the United Cup 2025 and she is expected to be asked about this on Saturday, January 4, when her country faces Poland in the semifinals and she competes against Swiatek.
