Top seed Elena Rybakina lost 3-6 6-4 6-3 to world No. 118 Alina Charaeva at the China Open in Beijing. Charaeva dropped the opener, then won the next two sets to take it in three. Rybakina exits before the third round, the seeding that shields top players from early meetings offering no safety here.
