Does Elena Rybakini have a partner? Personal life as she takes on Aryna Sabalenka in Australian Open final

Elena Rybakini is duking it out with Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the Australian Open.

The Wimbledon winner of 2022 also made the final of the Australian Open - where she is today - in 2022, and is established as one of the top talents in the women’s game.

Her off-court late has remained quite private - The Athletic reported on her relationship with her coach Stefano Vukov, which ended up with him being suspended last year and The Athletic says, with “Rybakina [telling] multiple sources in attendance at her recent events that her relationship with him had become personal and romantic."

She said last year that he would be leaving her team but then later confirmed he would be coming back for this year’s Australian Open.

But other than that, not much information is available. So anyone hungry for clues will need to watch the match.

Rybakina, 26, was born in Moscow and now plays for Kazakhstan. Her highest WTA ranking is three, and she has won 11 WTA singles titles. She is the first Kazakhstani to win a major and to be ranked in the world's top 10.
