Lamens records a surprising victory over French Gracheva in Budapest
Suzan Lamens has achieved a surprising victory at the WTA tournament in Budapest. The 25-year-old tennis player from Berkel managed to beat eighth-seeded Varvara Gracheva in two sets: 6-3, 6-0. She thus makes it through to the second round.
Lamens is number 137 in the world and was therefore not the favorite against the Frenchwoman (WTA-72). But on the Hungarian clay, Gracheva had a hard time with her serve. She hit a double fault eight times and only won fifteen of forty points on her own serve.
The first set was initially even at 3-3, but then Lamens struck with two breaks.
In the second set, 23-year-old Gracheva could not improve her serves. Two serves were surrendered to love and she didn’t take another game. Victory was won within 45 minutes.
Another Frenchwoman?
It is a great victory for the Dutch, who has not yet managed to beat such a high-ranking player this year. In the second round, Lamens will again compete against a Frenchwoman.
Carole Monnet is then the opponent. Today she defeated the Hungarian Amarissa Tóth in two sets: 6-1, 6-1.
