Lamens vs Glozman — US Open 1R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Suzan Lamens (No. 66, age 26)

• 🇳🇱 Dutch late-bloomer who cracked the top 70 after winning Osaka 2024.
• 📊 2025: 26–21 (10–10 on hard). Summer highlight = Montreal R3 (beat Haddad Maia, lost to Zhu).
• 🏟️ US Open debut after two failed qualifications. Slam best = AO R2 (2025).
• ⚠️ Inconsistency: alternates strong wins with heavy losses. Arrives on 3-match losing streak (Kudermetova, Wang, Zhu).

Valerie Glozman (No. 902, age 18)

• 🇺🇸 Stanford sophomore & NCAA standout. Slam debut via Collegiate Wildcard Playoff.
• 📊 Career = 7–7 in ITFs, almost no tour-level wins. Only 1 pro win this year (Florence ITF).
• 🔥 Brief highlight: Indian Wells MD debut (lost 1–6, 2–6 to Minnen).
• 🏟️ US Open history: 3 failed qualy attempts before this wildcard entry.
• ⚠️ Limitation: Lacks tour-level intensity experience, will be tested by Lamens’ rally weight.

🔍 Match Breakdown

• Experience gap: Lamens owns ~350 career wins + a WTA title; Glozman just one pro win this year.
• Game styles: Lamens = grinding baseline control. Glozman = college-style aggression, but untested at WTA pace.
• Pressure: Glozman gets home support, but stage likely overwhelms. Lamens couldn’t ask for a softer opener.
• Upset path: Only if Lamens mentally implodes; otherwise gulf in levels is too wide.

🔮 Prediction

Lamens should impose control quickly, stretching rallies and drawing errors. Glozman will gain experience from the moment, but her weapons and stamina are not yet ready for Slam-level execution.

Pick: Lamens in 2 sets (likely under 18 games).
