A tennis insider has made shocking claims regarding the split between Elena Rybakina and her former coach, Stefano Vukov. According to the source, not only did injury issues play a significant role in the breakup, but there were also reports of verbal altercations between the two. The insider alleges that “bad words were said to Rybakina,” adding tension to an already strained partnership.
Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, has been dealing with injury troubles over the past few months, which reportedly caused friction in her camp. The Kazakh star’s struggles to maintain her physical health during crucial tournaments added pressure on her and her team, with frustration reportedly spilling over into verbal exchanges. These claims suggest that Vukov’s approach may have been a contributing factor to the split, along with concerns about Rybakina’s injuries affecting her form and future prospects.
Although Rybakina has not publicly addressed these allegations, she confirmed her split from Vukov earlier this year, citing professional reasons. The reported verbal conflict, however, casts a shadow over the official narrative, leaving fans and tennis experts speculating about the true reasons for their separation.
Vukov has not commented on the allegations of verbal abuse, but the controversy around the split continues to grow. Many within the tennis community are now questioning the dynamics of their relationship, with some wondering if Vukov’s coaching style became too harsh for the young player to handle.
As Rybakina moves forward with her career and searches for a new coach, the revelations around her split from Vukov may have long-lasting effects on how both are perceived in the tennis world.
