Suzan Lamens has reached the second round of Lib\u00e9ma Open on a drizzling Tuesday. In a match interrupted twice by rain, the Dutch number one finalist of 2009 trumped Yanina Wickmayer: 6-3 0-6 6-3.<\/p>
The scoring really shot in all directions. Indeed, Wickmayer started best and led 3-0. Lamens then set a series of six games in a row.<\/p>
The second set produced complete one-way traffic for the Belgian, who is putting a stop to her active tennis career after Wimbledon.<\/p>
Unfortunately for Wickmayer, the game was halted by rain at that point. This happened again later in the third set, when Lamens was leading 4-3.<\/p>
After the final restart, Lamens persevered convincingly and conceded only two points in the only two games that were still necessary.<\/p>
Thus, Lamens is in the second round for the second year in a row. Last year, that was her finish, when Naomi Osaka proved too big.<\/p>
To reach the quarterfinals for the first time now, Lamens needs to get rid of fifth seed Anastasia Potapova or Ann Li.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
