Elena Rybakina's former coach, Stefano Vukov, is under provisional suspension by the WTA due to an ongoing investigation.
The inquiry follows allegations of misconduct related to Vukov's behavior towards Rybakina, who he previously coached to a Wimbledon title.
Details surrounding who initiated the complaint remain unclear, but Vukov denies any wrongdoing.
Concerns over Vukov's conduct have been voiced by critics, including former player Pam Shriver, urging Rybakina to seek a more respectful coaching environment.
The suspension restricts Vukov from accessing WTA events or player-only areas, while the investigation progresses.
