Elena Rybakina’s Coach Under Fire Over Absurd On-Court Behavior at the US Open: ‘So Annoying’

After winning an easy match against a Grand Slam champion, any player would be riding high and feeling good. However, not for Elena Rybakina. Earlier today, the Kazakh star had a straight-set win over Emma Raducanu, as she entered the fourth round in style. Not everything went smoothly for Rybakina, as the scoreline suggested though, as her coach Stefano Vukov came under the scanner for constantly chirping during the match. As a result, he was slammed by fans for his behavior.

Even the Eurosport commentator slammed Vukov, saying, “Vukov talks a lot. He just won’t stop talking, to be honest, even I’m already tired a little bit… even though it’s only the 7th game.” Additionally, social media was filled with some strong comments against Vukov, who is quite infamous for his controversies. An angry fan wrote, “He has something to say after every point so annoying.”
