Alycia Parks vs. Maria Sakkari | 2022 Ostrava Round of 16 | WTA Match Highlights

[@pomerlain8924]

Not only did Parks have 59 winners, but she also only had 26 errors. So pretty clean for a 2h 44m match. Take away her serving stats, and she had 44 winners to 18 UEs off the ground. Pretty impressive. That's not ballbashing. That's smart attacking tennis. This is the week where Alycia announces herself to the tennis world.

[@randomboris]

I saw her at a local tournament earlier this year in Los Angeles and though she lost in the final, i was impressed with her game.

[@randomboris]

@JesusLovesMe But it was a tournament in Arcadia, California. She lost to Rebecca Marino.

[@ramonecricket5183]

Parks hit 59 winners to Sakkari’s 9. The match was almost entirely on her racquet. She is BY FAR the most talented of all the young Americans on the tour, and if she can improve her return of serve she will be a star.

[@gmann8659]

You dont watch much tennis if you think that - she regularly gets beaten in ITF tournaments. Literally any player in the top 500 is capable of stringing together a couple of big wins because womens tennis doesn't have the same consistency as the mens game.

[@teethart9865]

I remember Osaka being regularly beaten on tour too. I mean she was all sorts of a loser once. But u could always say a player has potentials. Anyone can lose once. People just need one breakthrough. Parks has some potential.

Her ranking should go shooting up! Back in the day players used to get bonus points for beating top players. I think they still should have that, b/c the rankings will just reflect how far she goes in the tourney but not the people she beat along the way. Her confidence is gonna be soaring after this win!

Sakari is one dimensional player. Only smash from the baseline (eventho her shots are not that strong) and doesn't use variety shots. It worked sometimes because of her athleticism, but now other players already got used to it.

Sooner or later, there will be foot fault call on that jumping serves. Some chair umpires and lines person are just more strict than others. Players have to play by the rules. The rest of her skills and ground strokes are things of beauty.
