NEW YORK (Reuters) -Iga Swiatek survived a second-set scare to beat the Netherlands' Suzan Lamens 6-1 4-6 6-4 on Thursday, as the 2022 champion battled back on Arthur Ashe Stadium to reach the U.S. Open third round.

The second seed, who looked like a top contender after picking up her sixth major at Wimbledon and clinching the Cincinnati tune-up tournament, overcame mid-match errors and will play 29th seed Anna Kalinskaya in the third round.
