There was bad words said to Elena Rybakina” – Tennis insider makes shocking claims about Kazakh’s injury troubles & break-up with ex-coach
Tennis journalist Sonya Tartakova has revealed some shocking new information about Elena Rybakina, including the reasons for her constant injury troubles and recent break-up with ex-coach Stefano Vukov. According to Tartakova, the two are related, as Rybakina’s injury issues are more psychosomatic than just physiological in nature.
Rybakina was last in action at the US Open, where she reached the second round. However, before her match, the former Wimbledon champion withdrew, giving her opponent a walkover.
Just days before, she had parted ways with Vukov, with reports even emerging that he had been banned by the WTA Tour afterward. She was next set to play at the China Open this week, but has already withdrawn from the WTA 1000 event.
Speaking in an interview on the Youtube channel ‘Tennis Bolshei,’ Tartakova revealed that the official reason being given for Rybakina’s withdrawal, namely a back injury, is not the whole truth behind what’s wrong with the Kazakh. Instead, the journalist disclosed that the World No. 4 is now in a complete state of disarray, to the point that she cannot play.
Tartakova believes that the reason for said pressure is Rybakina’s relationship with Vukov, where she endured a lot of difficulties because of his poor attitude towards her.
