Kamilla Rakhimova of Uzbekistan meets Iva Jovic of the United States in the third round of the China Open at the Lotus court in Beijing. The match is the lone night session slot on Monday, with a 12:30 AM EDT start that places it in the heart of the tournament's busiest stretch. Neither player has reached the fourth round here before, and both enter having played just one previous main-draw meeting on hard courts without a decisive edge. Rakhimova will need to hold serve early to set the tone on a surface where break points have been at a premium this week. Jovic, playing in her first WTA quarterfinal, will look to extend rallies and force the deciding points into the tiebreak, where the crowd support from the U.S. contingent could prove influential.
