Suzan Lamens was Eliminated in the First Round of the WTA Tournament in Beijing on Thursday. The best female Tennis Player in the Netherlands Lost in Two Sets to Lucky Loser Emiliana Arango From Colombia: 3-6 and 3-6.
Arango had Failed in the Qualifications, but was Allowed to Participate in the Main Tournament due to a withdrawal by the Chinese Wang Yafan. The 24-Year-Old Colombian, who has risen to fiftieth place in the world rankings in recent weeks, put up a good fight against the two-year-go-brod Lamens.
Lamens Lost Three Service Games in the First Set. The Tennis Player from Berkel en Rodenrijs was also broken twice immediately in the second set, after which she could no longer repair the damage. Arango finished the match after one and a half hours at her second match point.
Due to the defeat, Lamens must put a place in the top fifty of the world out of her mind for the time being. The Current Number 57 in the World Reached the Quarter-Finals of the WTA Tournament in Seoul, South Korea, Last Week.
