I'm sorry, we didn't come to talk about money, as life has many ways of collecting its 'bills.' In the case of Stefano Vukov, his sentence began the moment he told Elena Rybakina that if she won Wimbledon, he would get a tattoo in reference to her victory. And what did the Kazakh do? She became the champion in 2022 and won the bet against her coach. Today, a video has surfaced on social media showing clearly that the coach kept his word. A mark that will accompany him for the rest of his life... and the tattoo too.

Breaking news arrives regarding a controversial decision made by Elena Rybakina to end her professional relationship with Davide Sanguinetti. The Italian was chosen months ago to replace Ivanisevic and calm the storm that arose due to the serious accusations surrounding her head coach, Stefano Vukov. However, the passage of months has led Vukov to once again play a prominent role in the Kazakh's team, leaving Sanguinetti in the background as he seeks new challenges.

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?

The stormy relationship between Stefano Vukov and Elena Rybakina has become one of the soap operas of 2025, and the fact that the Kazakh returned to train with him and ended the year by winning the WTA Finals seems like it could change everything. In fact, former tennis player Elena Vesnina passionately defended the controversial coach, believing that is what Rybakina needs. "I think Elena has calmed down because the person who knows her well, understands her strengths and weaknesses, and knows how to convey it, returned with her. Vukov knows how to use his methods to redirect her when her phlegmatic nature makes her shut herself off," explained the Russian on Championat.

We were expecting a much more closely matched game between Elena Rybakina and Emma Raducanu in the third round of the US Open 2025, but the Kazakh player decided to bring out her best version and leave us without a battle. Later, in the press conference, faced with such superiority on the court, the questions turned towards other fronts, such as the return of Stefano Vukov to the stadiums, where he resumes his role as the main coach. This is what Elena said.

“Having things in order in the box is something that helps, of course; it's very important when the whole team comes to support you. With Stefano, the truth is that I never had an issue with him, so for me, it's very nice to have him by my side again. We have good communication, we never had problems, so everything is fine,” commented the World No. 10.

Coco Gauff arrived at the Dubai WTA and, from there, she was chatting with the media. Thus, questions regarding the case of her teammate Elena Rybakina and her coach Stefano Vukov, suspended by the WTA for abuses against his player, could not be missing."As far as I know, I know she doesn't like the decision. I know the WTA also has the right to protect her, and I think I will stay out of it. But, in general, I think it's good that the WTA ensures the protection of the players. I know they have things in the bathrooms for us to report things anonymously, all those meetings and things. Definitely, I feel protected by them. But as the person involved doesn't agree with the decision, I don't want to talk about it".

Thus, the American avoided talking much further beyond the case of her teammate but wanted to reflect on how some victims of harassment are not aware of it until later. Thus, she would not hesitate to anonymously report any anomaly she saw on the circuit:"I haven't seen anything crazy, but obviously, I hear stories on tour. I can't report anything I don't see, but obviously, if I see something, you can do things anonymously, so. I think that's important in our sport because many times victims don't even know they are. In this sport, it has happened many times. Many times, former players are seen speaking about the treatment they received years after retiring".
