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.
Stefano Vukov was provisionally suspended in January while the WTA conducted an investigation.
The WTA announced in February the investigation had been completed and the ban remained in place, without specifying how long it would last.

Vukov is now permitted to receive credentials allowing him access to player areas and practice courts at its events.
“The WTA is fully committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all athletes and other participants, as set out in our WTA code of conduct and safeguarding code,” the tour said in a statement.
“Any sanctions issued following a breach of these safeguarding rules are carefully considered and are subject to appeal before an independent tribunal.
“While case details remain confidential, we can confirm that Mr Vukov is eligible to receive credentials at WTA events.”
Rybakina announced before last year’s US Open that Vukov would no longer be her coach.
But prior to this year’s Australian Open, Rybakina said he would be rejoining her team.
She insisted he had never mistreated her during their time working together.
Rybakina, ranked number 10 on the WTA Tour, most recently reached the semifinals in Montreal before losing to Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko, the eventual champion.
