Goran Ivanisevic’s brief stint as 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina’s coach is over now that she is out of the Australian Open.

Goran Ivanisevic has quit as Elena Rybakina ’s coach after her exit from the Australian Open. His departure comes in the wake of Rybakina’s previous coach, Stefano Vukov, rejoining her team.

Goran Ivanisevic said he has ended his short stint as coach of former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina after the Kazakh went out in the fourth round of the Australian Open.

Rybakina hired Ivanisevic ahead of last year's WTA Finals and they started working together in the off-season. But their partnership was marred when the Kazakh rehired her former coach, Stefano Vukov, and news broke that Vukov was suspended by the WTA pending investigation.

On Tuesday tennis great Goran Ivanisevic announced the partnership between the pair was also coming to an end. Ivanisevic took to Instagram to confirm the pair had elected to go their separate ways following her Australian Open exit.

Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina needed only 53 minutes to storm past junior world No.1 Emerson Jones 6-1, 6-1 in the first round of the Australian Open.

The problem for the 2023 finalist at Melbourne Park follows a season where she was plagued by injury and illness. Rybakina’s build-up to Wimbledon in the summer was hampered by acute bronchitis, which also caused her to withdraw from the Paris Olympics.

Former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic says he will not continue coaching world number six Elena Rybakina after the Australian Open.

Goran Ivanisevic has confirmed his short stint as Elena Rybakina’s coach is over following the Kazakh’s exit from the 2025 Australian Open. Rybakina appointed Ivanisevic as her new coach at the end of the 2024 campaign having parted ways with former coach Stefano Vukov in August.
