Elena and Vukov
The Kazakhstani star, Elena Rybakina once again hits out at the people who are defaming her coach, Stefano Vukov. The 23-year-old lost to Aryna Rybakina in the final of the Australian Open. She had a very good tournament until then but unfortunately, she lost in a close final. Fans started blaming her coach for the bad coaching.
Elena already took to her Instagram before and expressed her disappointment in those allegations. In a recent interview with Eurosport, she talked a lot of things about her game, her seeding, her coach, and many others. She once again defended her coach when reminded of those allegations.
In this interview she said “A few people made some comments; they don’t know me at all, and they don’t know my team, which I was really surprised by because if there are any problems, you can always come and talk with me directly. But people decided to post it on the internet so I kind of showed the reality, that everything is fine and everybody needs to stay in their places and not mix up.”
Speaking about her coach’s contribution, Rybakina said “If you see me just like on the court, you don’t know what’s happening around and it’s quite a lot. Even if I look calm, of course, I always talk with my coach, it’s just not the moment, of course during a match I will just listen. Sometimes I really need energy because I’m quite calm and I can be so much thinking about myself, and focusing on myself during the match, so I need something quick to understand what’s happening around.”
