Elena Rybakina, who lost out to Poland in the semi-finals of the United Cup with Kazakhstan, was asked about the controversy surrounding Stefano Vukov, her former coach who has now returned to the team.

Vukov has been provisionally suspended by the WTA, for reasons that are still unclear. He will not be allowed in the player's box or on the training courts.

Some speculate that this is due to moral abuse towards Rybakina.

The player says: "I can only say that Stefano never mistreated me.

I work with Goran and I'm satisfied with our work over the last two months. Stefano joins the team.

I've known this person for 6 years and there's a lot we can do outside the tennis court."

Words that some people doubt.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
