SABALENKA KNOCKED OUT OF CHINA OPEN IN MAJOR UPSET
World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka has been knocked out of the China Open after suffering a straight sets defeat to 20 year old Czech player Nikola Bartunkova. Bartunkova, ranked No. 34 in the world, defeated the four time Grand Slam champion 6–4, 6–3 in Beijing on Sunday. The match lasted one hour and 35 minutes, with Bartunkova saving all five break points she faced and breaking Sabalenka three times. Sabalenka’s exit means the women’s tournament has now lost both of its top two seeds after world No. 1 Elena Rybakina was eliminated on Saturday.
