Elena Rybakina has emerged out to be the star of the show ever since she managed to get the Stuttgart Open title in her name. However, after receiving a glossy beast Porsche as a prize for the victory, the WTA star named her coach Stefano Vukov to be the bearer of the driving seat. This didn’t just come out to be a general statement but also ignited rumors about a speculated relationship between the both of them.
Besides the fans who consistently talk about their chemistry extending to a personal note, the commentators in Madrid also presented a clear analogy to the speculative angle. While there were chances that the fans must have taken it lightly, a fan came forward to point out the fact on social media. “NOT COMMIES MAKING MARRIAGE ANALOGIES FOR RYBAKIMA AND VUKOV,” the post said, highlighting the statement in which a commentator compared Rybakina and her coach with husband and wife.
As soon as the post started to capture the attention of other fans, they found it as a safe haven to unleash their thoughts about the mysterious bond. “We have the vision,” a fan said, adding more weight to the speculation.

Fans have always carried mixed thoughts towards Elena Rybakina’s coach Stefano Vukov. Back at the Australian Open last year, Vukov was seen carrying aggression as he tried to boost her morale from the stands during a match. The fans, who didn’t like his way of approaching the WTA star, complained about his nature to which, Rybakina came forward for a direct denial.
“This is I think a bad conclusion from the internet like he’s overreacting. I think he’s just trying to give me a lot of energy,” she said, mentioning the fact that the fans mistook his reaction. As the tennis star continues to give signals that strengthen the speculations about her chemistry with Vukov, it still remains to be seen where the story heads.
