Bartoli latest to criticise coach of Elena Rybakina: "The way Rybakina’s coach is talking is just not something I can accept"

Marion Bartoli has joined in on the criticism of Rybakina's coach Stefano Vukov calling his behaviour towards her 'something she can't accept'.

Vukov has been in the news a lot lately after footage of him shouting at Rybakina emerged online. It was criticised by many but mostly former player Pam Shriver who publicly wrote on Twitter that she hopes Rybakina finds a coach who will treat her with respect. The response from the player came on social media where she stood by her coach calling the criticism bizarre.

Shriver wrote:

“As I watch Rybakina try to win her second major in 7 months, I hope she finds a coach who speaks and treats her with respect at ALL times and does not ever accept anything less."

Bartoli landed on Shriver's side in the argument saying in a recent podcast:

“The way Rybakina’s coach is talking to Rybakina on the court is just not something I can accept. I just can’t take that any more. I sincerely hope for her sake, and for her to be able to continue that game, that she will be able to find a coach that talks with respect to her no matter what the result is. Because she is really trying her hardest on the court.”
