The coach of 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina has been cleared by the WTA Tour to return from his suspension for a potential breach of its code of conduct.

Iga Swiatek outplayed Anna Kalinskaya to reach her third Cincinnati semifinal, where Elena Rybakina -- fresh off a straight-sets win over Aryna Sabalenka -- awaits.

But Vukov refused to sit silently - and after appealing the WTA's ban - he won his case and rejoined Rybakina's team at the Cincinnati Open. And that is already having a positive impact on the Kazakh, who is through to the semifinal after ousting top seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-1 6-4.

World No. 3 Iga Swiatek will face Elena Rybakina in the semi-final of Cincinnati Open 2025. Rybakina is the favourite to win the clash.

The latest WTA rankings brought good news for Elena Rybakina, Victoria Mboko, and Naomi Osaka, while Paula Badosa and Anna Bondar saw setbacks.

Chakvetadze, a former world No. 8, appeared on a podcast with former three-time Grand Slam finalist Safina. At one point during their conversation, the former Russian tennis star said that Ivanisevic privately told her he was surprised that Rybakina only had one Wimbledon title in her collection.
