A female tourist has one-upped tennis ace Serena Williams — smashing her husband with a lamp and biting him during an argument over the US Open in their chic Midtown hotel, police sources said.

Lauren Taylor, 27, of South Lake, Texas, clashed with her 40-year-old husband, Jeffrey, in the W Hotel on Lexington Avenue at 49th Street at 1 a.m. Friday, cops said.

Lauren, who was drinking at the bar, complained to Jeffrey that he was neglecting her because he was too busy bringing his business clients to the Open, sources said.

The Taylors went upstairs to their room but kept arguing, prompting Lauren to ask staff for another room, sources said.

When told the hotel was full, she bashed Jeffrey in the head with a lamp, leaving him with facial cuts and scratches, cops said.

Lauren then allegedly scratched his face and sank her teeth into his arm.

She was arrested on assault charges. She was released without bail after an arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.

On Saturday night, Williams lost her Open match after lashing out at a line judge.
