They discovered the ordeal that ruined Rybakina’s career: “There was pressure, insults, bad words”

Last Monday it was announced Elena Rybakina gave up the two most important tournaments for the rest of the seasonthe WTA 1000 in Beijing (September 25-October 6) and Wuhan (October 7-13).

“Due to an ongoing back injury, I have to withdraw, with great regret, from the upcoming tournaments in Asia. “I am working hard to recover, but my medical team and I have decided that it is best to preserve my health at the moment,” the Kazakh player announced in a statement released by the WTA, although in recent hours it became known. that there is more behind it all.

And it was that Russian journalist Sonya Tartakova pointed out that the tennis player has been under a lot of pressure for some time and humiliation from his former coach, Stefano Vukov.

“Many people do not understand the reason for his health problems. They say that he has back problems, that is the official reason; he also had problems with his stomach. However, as mentioned by people involved in her professional career, now Elena herself is under a lot of stress, it is quite psychosomatic She is in a chaotic moment, in a completely disordered state, she cannot play. All these difficulties that he is facing now stem from the enormous pressure that was built on his former coach, Vukov.” Tartakova said in an interview with ‘YT’.

“They said that Stefano traveled to New York and was ready to continue working with Elena, but he decided that they should break up because… I don’t want to use too big words, but let’s say because of inappropriate behavior towards him. It “eats” her all the time, as the people around Elena say.. “His parents stood up for him, because he couldn’t get out of that vicious circle,” the journalist continued.

“On the one hand, we are talking about the coach who has been with him since he was 17, who he chose, with his family. On the other hand, it is clear that they are very close, that he lived the best moments of his career thanks in a job together, but her parents insist that Lena needs a change in her tennis life: pressure, insults, bad words kept coming from Vukov’s lips“.

“Now he is suffering, trying to get rid of these psychological problems. The situation is very complicated for him, we will see. I’ve been trying to find information about whether she’s been cleared on the WTA circuit, as we’ve talked about for the past few months, as if a statement has come out suspending her from the circuit. No one has officially confirmed this. We will find out soon, if he finds a new student, if this punishment exists: Vukov proved that it is not” he concluded.

We remember that the Kazakh announced a few weeks ago through social networks that he stopped working with Stefano Vukov. After some bad results, the Kazakh decided to end his working relationship, before the US Open 2024.

“Hello everyone. After five years, Stefano and I no longer work together. I would like to thank him for his work on the track and wish him the best for the future. Thank you all so much for your support,” he announced in a statement.
