Swiatek won the US Open back in 2022.
The Iga Swiatek juggernaut hits its next roadblock, as the Polish superstar is set to collide with Suzan Lamens in the second round of the 2025 US Open. On paper, this looks like a straightforward encounter, with Iga Swiatek holding all the trump cards. However, things could get interesting due to Lamens’ tendency to play some uncannily fearless tennis against the big names. Let’s dive deep into this exciting competition, by taking the help of our very own BetMGM.
It is safe to say that since Wimbledon, Iga Swiatek has been playing like the best player in the world. The 24-year-old Pole had a rather meak clay court swing, but followed it up with a final in Bad Homburg and the title charge at Wimbledon. More recently, the six-time Grand Slam champion won the Cincinnati Open as well. Swiatek defeated Arango 6-1 6-2 in Round-1, and remains one of the favourite to capture the crown at Flushing Meadows.
On the other hand, things are vastly different for 26-year-old Suzan Lamens. The Dutch player had a tricky opener against hometown hero Glozman, but managed to scrape through in straight sets. This is the first time Lamens is competing at the US Open, and it is still her debut season at the Grand Slams. However, Lamens remains less proficient on the hard courts (10-11), and that could prove to be costly in this extremely gruelling match-up.
The head-to-head record between Swiatek and Lamens is currently 0-0. This will be the first time they face each other on the WTA Tour.
| Iga Swiatek | Category | Suzan Lamens |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Current Rank | 66 |
| 49/12 | YTD W/L | 22/21 |
| 2 | YTD Titles | 0 |
| 391/87 | Career W/L | 297/224 |
| 24 | Career Titles | 1 |
Even though Lamens has the ability to bring an aggressive brand of tennis to the table, Swiatek might prove to be too much for her. The sublime class, precision and power of Swiatek make her an easy favorite for this match. While the 2025 US Open has already given us a few upsets, the chances of former US Open champ Swiatek losing remain extremely small.
Prediction: Iga Swiatek in straight sets.

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
