Former player Laura Robson that works for Eurosport as an analyst was not thrilled with the way Rybakina's coach looked like while watching her play.
Stefanos Vukov has been working with Rybakina for a while but he didn't seem cheerful or happy during her performance. He was spotted shaking his head and getting annoyed despite the player handling the match rather and Robson noted that in the post-match analysis. She said:
“I don’t know how she deals with the coach, he seems to be so negative on the side. It’s clearly their way of communicating and obviously, it worked because she was able to make some changes throughout the match.”
And added:
“He kinda has his head in his hands, every time she missed a ball there was some reaction. Maybe she doesn’t see it and maybe we’re just showing him a lot on the screen but I felt it was really obvious. I saw an interview that he did halfway through the tournament and he said from the side he’s looking to give her a lot of energy but he didn’t specify what kind of energy. So maybe this is something that they’ve talked about anyway, but personally, I wouldn’t like it.”
