Paraphrase
Since defeating Destanee Aiava in the opening round of the US Open, Rybakina has not played. Citing a back injury, the 25-year-old missed the whole Asian swing, including the WTA 1000 tournaments in Beijing and Wuhan.
She abruptly broke up with Vukov just days before the US Open, raising questions about whether her absence was related to him. Rennae Stubbs, a former doubles champion and tennis coach, even expressed worries that “more was going on” with Rybakina.
In New York, the Kazakhs did not talk much about their breakup. However, she has now dispelled “rumors” after rejoining the Riyadh tennis tour.
In advance of the WTA Finals, Rybakina stated, “Well, I know that a lot of I guess speculations going on.” But in all honesty, Stefano and I just parted ways.
