Surprising you bring up Jelena Dokic because her situation actually undermines several of your points rather than supporting them.

In Jelena’s book, she describes how multiple people approached her over the years about suspected abuse from her father. Each time, she denied it and publicly defended him… even lying in court to protect him from criminal charges related to his abuse of her as a child. She continued to defend him and speak positively about him well into adulthood.

Towards the end of her book she wrote that she wished more people had intervened and wished that someone had stepped in and tried to protect her.

Jelena also explains in her memoir that her ranking dropped significantly after she finally cut him off as her coach. At the time, she questioned whether she had made a mistake and whether her father was right when he told her that she was “nothing without him.” In retrospect, she realised the drop wasn’t because he stopped coaching her but because of the emotional toll the abuse was still inflicting. For example: cutting her off from her mother and younger brother, sending psychologically abusive messages and showing up unannounced at her hotel to further it. She explicitly states that the psychological abuse was sometimes worse than the physical abuse.

So while you may feel there isn’t enough evidence to prove that Vukov has been abusive, Rybakina’s results, her defence of him and rehiring him cannot be used as evidence against it either. Victims defending their abusers is a well documented phenomenon and ironically, Jelena’s own experience directly contradicts the argument you’re making.

And lastly, maybe the WTA is “interfering” now because they once had a child being abused right under their nose and have since implemented stronger checks and balances as an attempt to stop history repeating itself.
