🔍 Match Breakdown

Andreescu returns to competition with plenty of upside, but also rust. Her ability to vary pace and redirect play makes her dangerous on any surface, though she’s played few matches on indoor clay in recent years.

Lamens, meanwhile, is in full rhythm. While she lacks a standout weapon, her consistency and clay-court IQ make her a tough out—especially against a player short on match fitness.

This matchup pits raw talent and pedigree against current form and surface comfort. If Andreescu shakes off the rust quickly, her level is higher. But Lamens is positioned well to capitalize on any inconsistency.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Suzan Lamens to win in three sets

Andreescu may flash brilliance, but Lamens’ clay sharpness and recent form could prove decisive in the critical moments.
