Elena Rybakina’s decision to rehire coach Stefano Vukov for the 2025 season before the Australian Open has raised eyebrows in the tennis world. The pair previously worked together for a period, during which Rybakina experienced significant success, including winning Wimbledon in 2022. Vukov, who had been with Rybakina during some of her career highs, had parted ways with her in mid-2023.
This move could be seen as a return to a winning formula, as Vukov has a deep understanding of Rybakina’s playing style and strengths. The timing of this announcement also suggests that Rybakina is looking to fine-tune her game ahead of the upcoming Grand Slam season, with the Australian Open being a key early test in 2025. Fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how this reunion impacts Rybakina’s performance, especially as she continues to establish herself as one of the top players in the world.
