Gabriela Dabrowski
Dabrowski and partner Erin Routliffe fell in the Round of 16 at the China Open to Magda Linette and Peyton Stearns in straight sets 6-2, 7-6.
It was the third straight loss for the US Open champions, who also lost in the first round of the Japan Open following a loss in the finals of the 1000 event in Guadalajara.
Dabrowski and Routliffe opened the Zhengzhou Open on Monday with a 6-4, 7-6 straight-sets win over Xi Yifan and Tereza Mihalikova.
Vasek Pospisil
Pospisil fell to Australian Adam Walton 6-4, 7-6 in the first round of the Tiburon Challenger event. It is the second straight first-round loss at a Challenger event for the 33-year-old, whose record on tour this season sits at 1-2.
