Suzan Lamens saves the Day for Netherlands at US Open...
Suzan Lamens is the sole bright spot for the Netherlands at the US Open so far, securing a 6-4, 6-2 win over American qualifier Valerie Glozman. This victory comes after a tough start to the tournament for Dutch tennis players, with Tallon Griekspoor and Botic van de Zandschulp losing in straight sets to Adrian Mannarino and Holger Rune, respectively. Jesper de Jong also faced a tough loss against Brian Nakashima.
At just 26 years old, Suzan Lamens is making waves in the tennis world. With a career-high singles ranking of No. 58, achieved on August 11, 2025, she's currently the top-ranked Dutch singles player. Lamens has shown impressive form this year, including a win at the Japan Women's Open and notable performances at WTA 1000 events. Her recent victories and rising rankings make her a promising talent to watch in the tennis world.
Suzan Lamens is now the sole Dutch representative remaining at the US Open, following her win over wildcard Valerie Glozman. Lamens made a strong start, reaching break point in the first game, but Glozman successfully defended. However, Lamens persisted and converted her next two break points, taking a 5-1 lead in the match.
The 18-year-old American struggled to find her rhythm against the 66th-ranked Lamens, who capitalized on her opportunities to take control of the match. The Dutch player's performance showcased her skills and determination, setting her up for a potential victory.
Glozman showed flashes of promise as she navigated the seventh game, saving three set points to hold her serve. However, her brief momentum was short-lived, as Lamens ended the set with a dominant hold, clinching it 6-4. The Dutch player sealed the set with a love game, taking a 1-0 lead in the match.
Turbulent Second Set
The second set was marked by chaos, with Lamens initially surging to a 3-0 lead after reaching break point four times in the opening three games. However, Glozman fought back, breaking Lamens and sparking a frenetic exchange of breaks over the next four games. The set became a battle of resilience, with both players struggling to hold their serve.
Glozman fought tenaciously to stay in the match, pushing a marathon game to deuce nine times after Lamens had taken a 4-1 lead. Despite Lamens having five break point opportunities, Glozman managed to hold her ground and break Lamens once again, showcasing her determination to progress in the US Open.
Lamens sealed her win with a dominant 6-4, 6-2 victory over wildcard Valerie Glozman. Glozman's resistance crumbled in the second set, where Lamens' final break seemed to be the turning point. Despite fighting hard, Glozman couldn't recover.
The Dutch player's journey in the US Open will continue as she faces off against second seed Iga Swiatek in the second round. Swiatek, the 2022 champion, has been in impressive form, winning her first-round match 6-1, 6-2. Given Swiatek's strong performance, Lamens' path forward won't be easy
