Elena Rybakina has backed her former coach Stefano Vukov and expressed her disagreement with the Women’s Tennis Association as the governing body continued its investigation into the Croat on the eve of the Australian Open. ‘I don’t agree with a lot of things the WTA do in the sense of my relationship with Stefano,’ said Rybakina, the sixth seed in Melbourne. ‘As I said before, I have never made any complaints or any of these things. I always said that he never mistreated me.’ Earlier this week, the WTA confirmed it had opened an investigation into Vukov owing to an alleged breach of its code of conduct. He is provisionally suspended from the tour, meaning he cannot receive accreditation and access the private player areas despite his original intent to attend the Australian Open.
