Australian Open, WTA > Pera, 78th in the world, on the relationship between Rybakina and her suspended coach, Vukov: “It's a really weird story. I don't even know what I'm allowed to say or not not to say but I am obviously against any form of abuse”

Recently returned to Elena Rybakina's team alongside newcomer Goran Ivanisevic, coach Stefano Vukov, provisionally suspended by the WTA following an investigation into violating the tour's code of conduct, is at the center of lots of questions.

While the Kazakh player insisted on defending her coach, the current 78^e world player, the American Bernarda Pera, expressed her feelings about this affair in the columns of Sports club.

“We don't know much about the situation. I think they are waiting for the WTA to make a decision. In my opinion, this is a really weird story. I don't even know what I'm allowed to say or not say. I never witnessed a situation where she was abused by him, so I can't speak to what happened, but I'm obviously against any form of abuse. »
