Charaeva stuns new world number one Rybakina in Beijing

Original: Charaeva upsets new World No. 1 Rybakina in Beijing second round

Russian player Charaeva has beaten Elena Rybakina, the newly crowned world number one, in the second round of the WTA tournament in Beijing. The upset removes the top seed early from the China Open, and comes just after Rybakina reached the top of the rankings, prompting attention on the changing landscape at the top of the women's game.

Why now: A newly installed world number one losing immediately at a major tournament is a surprise result that tennis fans are discussing.
