LONDON — The suspension of Elena Rybakina's former coach Stefano Vukov "remains in place," the WTA Tour says after confirming it has completed its investigation into a potential breach of its code of conduct. The governing body did not specify how much longer Vukov, who had been provisionally suspended initially, would remain banned. The Croatian coach has denied wrongdoing. Rybakina who is the 2022 Wimbledon champion has said that Vukov "never mistreated me" in their years working together and that she disagreed with the provisional suspension.
