Exciting Matchups Await at Libéma Open and ATP 250 in Den Bosch

DEN BOSCH, Netherlands — The Libéma Open continues on June 11, 2025, with players vying for advancement on grass courts. Key matchups feature Bianca Andreescu against Lulu Sun, Kimberly Birrell facing Yue Yuan, and local player Suzan Lamens matched up with Ann Li.
Birrell enters her match against Yuan with recent momentum, having secured a hard-fought victory against Xinyu Wang in the first round. She leads their head-to-head at 1-0, having won in tightly contested tiebreaks earlier this year in Austin. Yuan’s recent form has been less favorable, with only two wins from her last ten matches. Given Birrell’s adaptability on grass, she could take the win in a close battle.
Prediction: Birrell in 2.
In the clash between Li and Lamens, Li’s experience might give her the upper hand. She has a professional background that suits grass, including a run to the semifinals in Nottingham back in 2021. Lamens, however, has local support but has struggled to find consistent success at the WTA level. If Li plays with precision and maintains her rhythm, she is poised to win.
Prediction: Li in 3.
Andreescu, on a comeback journey, faces Sun in what will be their first meeting. Andreescu has shown promise in recent performances, supported by her previous achievements on grass, while Sun has found success primarily on lower circuits. All eyes will be on how Andreescu performs under pressure.
Prediction: Andreescu in 2.
Meanwhile, Day 4 of the ATP 250 in Den Bosch highlights matches including former finalist Daniil Medvedev and former champion Adrian Mannarino. Medvedev comes into the match having recovered from struggles on clay. They’ve met several times, and Medvedev leads their head-to-head. Despite Mannarino’s recent win, Medvedev’s strong showing on grass might advance him into the next round.
Prediction: Medvedev in 3.
