Elena Rybakina REFUSES Photo with WTA Boss After Winning Finals – Fans Are Divided!

After her dominant 6-3, 7-6(0) triumph over Aryna Sabalenka to claim the 2025 WTA Finals in Riyadh, Elena Rybakina stunned the tennis world again — not for her tennis this time, but for what happened at the trophy ceremony. While celebrating, she posed with Sabalenka, but when Portia Archer, the CEO of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), moved to join the photo, Rybakina silently raised her hand and declined to move in. The moment was captured live and has since ignited waves of discussion among fans, media and insiders alike.

In the post-match press conference Rybakina offered little clarity, hinting only at ongoing communication breakdowns with the WTA. The snub comes against the backdrop of the long-running investigation into her former coach, Stefano Vukov, which involved allegations of abusive conduct and culminated in a one-year suspension that was later lifted in August 2025. Tensions between players and the governing body over transparency and procedure have come into sharper focus than ever — and this ceremony moment may be a sign of deeper undercurrents at play.
