IgA Swiatek survived a scare of second set to beat Suzan Lamens from the Netherlands 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 Thursday, when the 2022 champion fought against the Arthur Ashe stadium to reach the third round of the US Open.
The second seed looked like a contender to the fullest after picking up his sixth specialty in Wimbledon and securing the Cincinnati set -up tournament and cleaned some combat errors at mid -game to maintain his campaign on his way.
It will play 29a seed Anna Kalinskaya in the third round.
Swiatek had control when he broke in the second game when his opponent hit the ball a lot and saved a rest point in the third game with an unnecessable service.
Pole broke her opponent of the baseline again in the sixth game, since Lamens could not fire a single winner in the first set.
It seemed that it would be a similar story when Lamens lowered an early break in the second set, but the Dutch woman showed signs of life when he hit a set -up winner who just reached the baseline to level it in the fourth game.
Swiatek retaliates in the seventh game, sending a lethal setback to take advantage of the benefit, just to see that its advantage evaporates again with a double failure in the eighth and sent a setback to the network at the adjustment point.
In four games to one in the third set, Lamens reduced the advantage when he survived a 12 -shooting rally at the rest point in the sixth game, but it was too little late when Swatek sailed through his last two service games.
