Stefano Vukov will be able to return to the coaching bench of any WTA tournament in the coming weeks. As announced by the New York Times, the organization governing the global women's tennis has decided to lift the one-year suspension that was imposed on the coach, allowing him to fully rejoin Elena Rybakina's team. Vukov, sanctioned from early 2025, saw Davide Sanguinetti act as the head coach while he assisted the Kazakh player, but unable to set foot in WTA tournament facilities; after a lengthy internal process, however, he has succeeded in lifting the suspension and will be able to support the former Wimbledon champion again. Will we see him at the next US Open?
