Rybakina US Open

Shortly after his suspension for inappropriate behavior was lifted by the WTA during the Cincinnati tournament, Stefano Vukov reappeared in Elena Rybakina's box.

At the US Open, the Croatian coach remains as expressive as ever and saw his player qualify yesterday for the round of 16 with a swift victory over Emma Raducanu (6-1, 6-2). When asked about Vukov's return during the press conference, Rybakina denied the incidents mentioned in the WTA's investigation report:

"Having things in order in your box helps a lot, and it's very important that the whole team can encourage you. With Stefano, I never had any problem. It's really nice to have him back by my side. We have excellent communication, we never had any issues, so everything is fine.
