Elena Rybakina comes back to the China Open as the world No. 1, seeking to better her previous performances here. The Kazakh will meet Alina Charaeva in the second round to mark their first encounter. In two past appearances at this tournament, Rybakina is unbeaten in her opening rounds, and our prediction backs her to extend that.
The top seed bagged her second Grand Slam title this season three weeks ago after beating Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open final. She is now seeking her 50th win in 2026 and has a 5-0 record against outside-top-100 players this season.
Her record in the early rounds is also superb, coming here on a 14-2 record in the second round.
Charaeva has to be at her best here, having only won seven main draw matches on tour this season. Here she is set to meet a top 20 player for the first time in her career, an opponent ranking 117 places above her.
In three sets in the first round, Charaeva saw off Yuliia Starodubtseva to set up this encounter. Rybakina is definitely not the opponent she’d have prayed for on her Beijing debut, especially not this early.
The Armenian has only progressed twice past the second round this season, both ending in the quarters – at Hamburg and Sao Paulo. She is 110th in the live ranking ahead of this encounter.

Our Elena Rybakina vs Alina Charaeva Prediction
Our prediction for Elena Rybakina v Alina Charaeva is for the exact score: 2-1. Charaeva’s push for a first tour-level title looks set to hit a dead end once again as she faces the best player in the world at the moment.
Not much is expected of Armenia at this stage, though she has only failed to win a set in three of her last 10 matches. That should give her some hope, especially as Rybakina has dropped one set in each of her last three outings. At the end of the day, Rybakina is expected to progress.
