@Harcorwrestlerwhy would you compare her to Serena? Her game is nothing like hers. Parks is so low ranked because she just tried to crush every ball. That clearly does not work against higher ranked players.
This match went exactly how I thought it would go, having watched Parks' first 2 matches. Fernandez defeated herself that last round against Parks and Parks seized the opportunity. There would be no room for error with Coco, she's too locked in especially coming off the Auckland title. Even though Coco has not been playing her best tennis at AO (like most top seed), momentum is building in her favor, and she's becoming more and more settled for the start of the season. I expect her to go even deeper now that she's regained that #3 seed with the Rybakina exit, and she's got #1 on her mind and in her sights for 2024. She's in the points now with this victory over Parks, having successfully defended her points from last year just like she did in Auckland. She could even win it all as there is no clear favorite for this tournament regardless of what the betting houses say...the eye test says something different.
@tjg801 the head to head favors Coco. She's only lost to Penko in 3 sets once, and that was in 2019. Coco is a much better player now, and her service game is better. Double faults really hurt both of them when they match up. If Coco brings a good service game, it's difficult for Jelena to beat her with Coco's defense because she's a good returner and athletic enough to run the court. Coco is not afraid of big hitters. She's beaten everyone in the top 10...including the big hitters.
@@ask7554 Right, she is good against big hitters. Ostopenko has a proven record of neutralizing big hitters like Iga for example. Thats what my point is.
She claimed “this was the match everybody was waiting for” and “I play my best on the big stage”. She just isn’t consistent enough to beat the top players.
Yup. Parks alround game is better. Coco is still developing her strengths and a forehand I predict they will be meeting in grand slam finals in the future
@@jamespurcell4642 all around game better? Are you doing edibles? 😂😂🤣 Better as far as winning only 2 games??😂😂😂 Reminds me when Fake Mary Carillo said Maria was the better player when she lost to Serena at the Australian Open Semis! 😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Man this was giving me early Venus vs Serena vibes. I hope Alycia Park continues to get better because she could be a future GS champ. Congrats to Coco. Hope she wins the tourney.
@@ajollypanda4175 pretty sure the focal point of the comment was the athleticism and speed, power serves and deep-hit rallying, with one young gun slightly behind the other. but make it about what you wanna make it about, i guess 🤷♂🤦♂
@@ajollypanda4175That's one reason Sherlock 😂😅😊❤ and it' has the look and vibe you can't understand of Serena and Venus! Your beneath the level of greatness !
This was a match where I can honestly say I clapped for every winner -- no matter who hit it. Just wish Alycia had not been so nervous. Look forward to seeing more of her.
If you’ve been following Alycia prior to her Australian Open run then you’ll see the monumental progress that she has been making during this tournament. She was playing better and better. I’m impressed and it’s good to see. I think she needs to get a stable elite coaching situation as it seems a bit turbulent. I think she’s now working with Sascha Bajin, but he couldn’t come to Australia? Continue to work on her shot selection, shot tolerance, plan B (defence) and she will be a huge force to be reckoned with on tour. In her first couple rounds, I loved seeing her problem solve and measured calm demeanour in pressure moments. Today I think she didn’t play well and that could’ve been nerves. Maybe it was because her serve was off 🤷🏿♂️ Alycia will do great should she mentally improve and bring that champion charisma and brashness (in the best competitive way) and intensity she has every time she plays. Fell a bit flat today, but this tournament is a MAJOR breakthrough for Alycia and positions her for potentially an unforgettable 2024 for her. Can’t wait to see her game further come together
Thank you. You said pretty much all that I had been thinking. I would add that you know her nerves were high because she normally serves about 10 aces per match. Also, Alycia seems to love the net. She has the speed and quickness of thought to get there. That sets her apart from other players on tours. I pray she has the support and stamina to keep growing. Such an elegant display of skill and talent.
Both ladies are coming into their own great job to all the players this AO on the ladies side has been exciting if it wasn't for women's tennis I would not have even been interested in the sport.
Congrats, Coco! You're looking good & well on your way to victory, so keep the momentum going strong. Nice effort, Alycia. Keep working hard & don't lose focus of your goals. I love your elegant, classy, modest sense of style dress. Thanks for your consistent display of beauty, class & grace. I wish you both much success and unending blessings. After Serena's retirement, thanks for giving me a reason to watch & enjoy women's tennis once again. Let's go, Coco!
I got my 🍺 and snacks expecting to enjoy an epic Titanic match. Except it's over in an hour. Not even a match. So disappointed. One is a future Serena Williams legend the other is a wannabe. Coco will go all the way if she maintains this form. Really only Iga can challenge her.
Anyone finds Alycia Parks plays very much like Serena? She looks like Serena in her movement and strokes. Could be a potential star if she continues to build her power.
Parks looks awfully good and plays with a lot of power, but it needs to be tamed, and I do think perhaps the moment kind of got the best of her a bit. Coco is maturing and getting better and better. these two definitely are going to be battling each other in the near future. Hope Coco can take the title.
I've seen a lot of Parks double matches and was kinda taken back at the comparisons made to Serena and the recent comments made before her Gauff match up! That she's a difficult opponent for Gauff! It's no small feat to win a Grand Slam which Gauff have done, or any Championship for that matter! I don't see the instincts or hunger to win in Parks game! With the right coach her game can evolve to a very lethal level..She got the power, her doubles experience gives her soft and quick hands in volleying and placements at the nets! Her ground strokes are too often directly back at her opponents instead of swinging or switching up to the corners which open the court for easier winners! Gauff had that same tendency to hit back to her opponents instead of swinging to the sides or angling to drop net side! Her last game with Iga exposed her inexperienced to swinging to the corners or angling her returns and she was on the defensive throughout the match as Iga was deliberately moving her around! Never letting her get into an offensive rhythm..Gauff lost that match! Parks got the mechanics and skills to be better than what's shown in this game! Her camp need to invest in a strategy coach as Gauff game have made tremendous strides.. Gauff is going to be difficult to beat! Parks was made to look mediocre..A bagel and two games does not a future champion make on such a big stage!
For those saying that Coco had an easy draw, here are some reasons why she didn't have an easy draw There are no reasons, just excuses coming from her fans
She did!? Oh nice. Hopefully we'll see improvement on her returns, especially moving into the ball with a hop spilt step into the court and more squared to the court in her return positioning
Park improves in each game. Her mental, serve, movement and target are got great potential. The most difficult part is her easy mistakes: I can’t count how many times she hit the nets in her matches. She often makes her opponents wins by hitting the nets yet she is great and will dominate tennis in the next 2 or 3 years along with Coco, Iga, etc… I suspect.
I loved watching Coco and Parks play. There is a marked difference in the coaching... both have a natural talent for tennis, but Coco's team and her ability to learn are AMAZING! If Alicia gets a better coach, I see titles for her as well, like Coco.
Rybakina is gone. Iga didnt fold from Collin's tough match. Coco is young and Alycia is only 23. Serena (GOAT) and Venus, Novak (GOAT), Nadal and Fed played and some still playing into late 30's. Can you imagine someone counting you out after making it into 3rd round of a GS and you are only 23. Keep fighting Alycia, good things lie ahead. Hope to see you go further in future slams and other tournaments. Naomi, Vika, Svitolina and other moms are back. Life is good. Everyone defines their own journey Enjoy it.
I'm Team Coco all the way🎉🎉🎉.... The also congrats to Parks she has Sparks of better future.... Coco is already shining and she will conquer and achieve greatness❤
I missed the video clip the commentators surprised Nick Kyrios with a clip of him and Roger Feder during the match, does anyone know what the "TMI" comment he made??
Parks gives me the vibe of a player who is aware of how they look playing on tv and wants to hit a highlight winner or ace on every point…probably grew up watching serena and remember how serena looked hitting those powerful serves and winners…but serena had an actual second serve,was willing to play defense, and knew when to play with some margin.
CONGRATS Coco! 🎾🎾🎾 Nice try to Parks who definitely is a player to watch in the future. I thought this would be a competitive match to watch like Coco’s 2nd round match but it was all COCO in the 2 sets. Something happened with Parks during this match and maybe it was the nerves of playing on a big stage?
Parks somehow reminds me of serena in little ways, but her game is too one dimensional. I knew the match was over when she had an amazing starting game blasting aces and then still lost the game with errors. I said thats probably going to be her best service game and she lost. From the two first serves, to having no other option but to blast the balls and try to overpower her opponent…plays into coco’s game. Coco didn’t have to think out there, just stay consistent.
Alycia has all the physical gifts...her mentality needs an overhaul. She lacks discipline and concentration. Once she gets that in order, then watch out. She also needs to form her own identity. I believe her Serena emulation might be detrimental to her growth.
The Serena emulation doesn't seem to be hurting her too much. Like you said, she needs a better mentality, and she needs to reduce her unforced errors. In today's game, she can't just rely on a big serve because it sometimes falls apart in matches like today. She doesn't do well in rallies, and likes to stay on the baseline... this was evident in her first 2 matches. She needs to increase her agility and IQ. She had some bright moments where she came into the net, but the execution was poor, but I love the winners she gave throughout the tournament. I'd love to see her develop and improve, and so she and Coco can become a nice matchup for years to come.. almost like a Venus and Serena revival.
@@ask7554 Great reply!Let me clarify, there is nothing wrong with emulating a great like Serena. However ,It inherently comes with pressure that's hard to live up to.
Coco is a future Serena legend but Parks is a wannabe. She's got power but no control. Coco didn't have to do much to win. Parks just imploded on herself with nothing but errors.
Some people said this match would resemble Venus vs. Serena match (since the similarity between Coco & Venus, and Alycia & Serena). But alas, nothing can even close to the level of the Williams sisters facing each other. Both Venus and Serena are agresive attackers, they never let each other rest and almost never play defensive game. When Venus or Serena had to defend, it's simply because either of them hit ferocious strokes that could be winners against other WTA players. Venus sometimes looked more defensive against Serena, but it's actually because of Serena's acute angles that open the court so wide, even for Venus (who is amazing runner). But Venus never hit "helplessly", she can match Serena's power for power, placement for placement, and both have strong mental game. This Coco vs. Alycia match is faaaaarr and away from the matches of Venus vs. Serena. In fact, nothing ever comes close to those legends' matches.
This was a mature performance from Coco. Alicia could become formidable if she continues to improve. She's still young. By the way who's more athletic between prime Williams sisters and Gauff? I want to hear your opinions.
Serena had a power game and could move. Venus had more movement than Serena. I believe that Coco is more athletic than both of them and has the capability of being a good bridge between Venus and Serena. She's only 19 (soon to be 20) and still working on her serve (which is scary considering where it is) and forehand, but her backhand is solid (like Venus), and her defense is stellar. What people fail to realize about these young players is that they're yet to come into their adult body...so even with strength training, they're not at optimal capacity. Can you imagine when Coco starts to move into her prime? She will be a force to be reckoned with because she's already developing consistency in match wins and strong mentality...when the weak parts of her game are corrected and perfected...wow...like I said earlier, she will be a cheat code version of Venus and Serena. Nobody on the tour can match that... there's future dominance in Coco's future, and she's on the right path.
Very good match between these two ladies. I was rooting for Coco, mainly I feel she can go further in this Open than Alicia can right now. I would like to see Coco this tournament to add to her U S Open win.
Ha. Not even close. She needs a few more years to develop consistency and to learn you don’t try to crush every ball. After Wimbledon when coco beat Venus Williams, it took 3 more years to get to where she is now.
Parks is fours years older than Gauff anyways but I'm not trying to compare. She can still win huge tournaments. I think she has to have more belief in herself.
@@lashame1 I don’t think her belief is the problem. Her one dimension game is the problem. She is a big hitter, just lacks control and problem solving skills. Clearly it didn’t work in the first set, so she should have tried something different, but didn’t.
It was surreal watching Parks move on court. She moves so much like Serena did, hits her strokes quite similarly, and has a number of similar mannerisms to Serena between points. It was like watching a younger Serena. Very much looking forward to seeing how Parks develops her natural skills in the next couple of years.
Parks saying “this is the match everybody has been waiting for” and “I play the best in the big stage” are 2 tho he she should have kept to herself. It’s funny she thinks “everybody” but Smurf to see them play. Nobody knows who parks is.
Parks has to become the pre-eminent serve and volley player on the tour...she has nice groundstrokes, but she needs to serve and volley. If anyone on the tour can do it and be successful, it's her. If I were her coach, I'd tell her that and coach her that way.
shes not coachable, Sasha B. left this train wreck...just TODAY, Parks lost in Qualifying playing the SAME tired, 1 trick servebot game. DFs and UE's galore...
well that was a match for coco to move forward,but i thought alycia parks was going to be a challenge for coco to really push her in a tight match,but parks was not at her best in this one sided match.but the challenge for coco will come in the semi-finals,from either krejcikova,or sabalenka,and if she beats one of them she will be in finals and will win her second grandslam hands down.
@@roybrown7357 Don't forget that Sloan Stevens won the Austrialian Open back in 2017. She just won a match in the 2nd Round the other day. I don't see why she might not be in the finals.
sloane won the 2017 us open.i new it,you do not know anything about tennis,you are probably now learning the game,i thought so.ok so long and take care.
Gauff will drain your energy. she's not superb, but she just makes you play extra shots. Just like Medvedev. it might not work consistently against the top 2 or top 3 players, but it's good enough to stay in the top 5 and beats over 90% of the WTA consistently.
Parks has always had high end power but a very low shot tolerance. She simply makes too many unforced errors without enough winners to compensate. Hopefully she will continue to improve on this but I have my doubts.
Both girls have exceptional talent. Wouldn’t be surprised if they become friendly rivals playing against each other in grand slam finals in the future. I met Alycia two years ago at the Miami Open. She was very kind.
Glory be to God.weldone bestie coco..u mk a proud African mom in the whole wide world... Alycia don't give up u on the ryt track.God.s tym is the best.
Parks RN is very hard to watch because she has so many weapons that she's not utilizing correctly. Her return stance and moving up into the return is a huge disadvantage for her consistency and strike of the ball. Also, she has got to learn how to fight harder when she's down. See seems to get mentally tangled. Very unfortunate because she has such a beautiful game. All Coco had to do was play her B game. Congrats Coco and, plz Parks use this money to get better on court coaching and off court mental coaching
Parks has not played a lot of tennis but once she get some experience she will be a contender. Coco is coco at this point she just got to gobble up titles.
Alycia Parks, wow! I like this girl already, she looks majestic, and beautiful. She is only 15 years old. What if she gets considerably better? By the time this girl is 25 years old if she can improve. She will have made more money than Serena LOL. She has battled Coco Gauff who is now world number 2 in Tennis? That is crazy!
Congrats to both of you. I’m just amazed seeing so many arm chair quarterback coaches on here many of whom I would bet can’t play high school tennis. It’s a competition, so we expect a winner and a loser and the end as normal. Some of opinions expressed are out right silly in my opinion. These girls have more at this age than most of the opinionated arm chair coaches.

She wasn’t allowed too. This match shows why she can serve like that but yet be ranked low. She is too one dimensional. Very low percentage tennis
All Parks has is a big serve, that she can't control. Her game is wayy too inconsistent. She was so lucky to get past Fernandez
@Harcorwrestlerwhy would you compare her to Serena? Her game is nothing like hers. Parks is so low ranked because she just tried to crush every ball. That clearly does not work against higher ranked players.
Gauff can really absorb the shots really well against these big hitters
She seems happy to run all day.
And that is where she succeeds at. She keeps up with them while most players don't.
She sure does.

Venus and Serena's daughters. Coco is such an amazing player. Just few players on tour who can beat her when she's playing at her best.
The tennis Gods gave us a new version of V vs S Williams & I'm here for it!
Seen slow and animated...To me!😮
I missed the video clip the commentators surprised Nick Kyrios with a clip of him and Roger Feder during the match, does anyone know what the "TMI" comment he made??
I like Parks all - court game , I hope she keeps this style of play, it’s refreshing to see.
1 trick mediocre servebot hasnt won a match in 3 months...
The serve of Parks!!!!🤯
Who is she??? Wow! Alycia is amazing!!! 👍 Well, Congratulations to our Darling Coco! 😊❤
Anisimova is the optimal version of Alycia Parks.
Beside her serve, Parks seems to play defense for most of the matches.
Congrats to Gauff.
Alycia goes for way to much needs to learn how to work the points more and wait for the right shot to go for
Parks gives me the vibe of a player who is aware of how they look playing on tv and wants to hit a highlight winner or ace on every point…probably grew up watching serena and remember how serena looked hitting those powerful serves and winners…but serena had an actual second serve,was willing to play defense, and knew when to play with some margin.
Totally. The Williamses mental game was so palpable
CONGRATS Coco! 🎾🎾🎾 Nice try to Parks who definitely is a player to watch in the future. I thought this would be a competitive match to watch like Coco’s 2nd round match but it was all COCO in the 2 sets. Something happened with Parks during this match and maybe it was the nerves of playing on a big stage?
This match wasn't even worthy of 8 min highlights tbh. Coco only had 4 winners & everything else were Alycia's errors.
She got bageled in the first set and only won 2 games the Entire game she got schooled
@dennisgichohi5392 The scoreline would suggest she got schooled but she didn't. She made 34 errors, she just imploded all on her own
@@KH-sn2sj mental toughness is a huge part of the game so if you can't control your nerves the opponent is gonna take advantage of that.......
Parks somehow reminds me of serena in little ways, but her game is too one dimensional. I knew the match was over when she had an amazing starting game blasting aces and then still lost the game with errors. I said thats probably going to be her best service game and she lost. From the two first serves, to having no other option but to blast the balls and try to overpower her opponent…plays into coco’s game. Coco didn’t have to think out there, just stay consistent.
Alycia has all the physical gifts...her mentality needs an overhaul. She lacks discipline and concentration. Once she gets that in order, then watch out. She also needs to form her own identity. I believe her Serena emulation might be detrimental to her growth.
The Serena emulation doesn't seem to be hurting her too much. Like you said, she needs a better mentality, and she needs to reduce her unforced errors. In today's game, she can't just rely on a big serve because it sometimes falls apart in matches like today. She doesn't do well in rallies, and likes to stay on the baseline... this was evident in her first 2 matches. She needs to increase her agility and IQ. She had some bright moments where she came into the net, but the execution was poor, but I love the winners she gave throughout the tournament. I'd love to see her develop and improve, and so she and Coco can become a nice matchup for years to come.. almost like a Venus and Serena revival.
@@ask7554 Great reply!Let me clarify, there is nothing wrong with emulating a great like Serena. However ,It inherently comes with pressure that's hard to live up to.
Coco is a future Serena legend but Parks is a wannabe. She's got power but no control. Coco didn't have to do much to win. Parks just imploded on herself with nothing but errors.
Her game is too one dimensional. She wants to blast everything, from her second serve and on
If Alycia clean up some of her errors she will be a very good player. She has a hell of a serve. She just needs the right coach.
Yea Parks is going to be dangerous! I love how Parks was watching Coco after their match. She looks up to Coco, I think!
Serena fan vls Serena fan.. 😂😂win Serena fan
💞🦾👍WAY TO GO COCO
Ok Coco! 👀🎉🎾💐 Keep it up!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Some people said this match would resemble Venus vs. Serena match (since the similarity between Coco & Venus, and Alycia & Serena). But alas, nothing can even close to the level of the Williams sisters facing each other.
Both Venus and Serena are agresive attackers, they never let each other rest and almost never play defensive game. When Venus or Serena had to defend, it's simply because either of them hit ferocious strokes that could be winners against other WTA players.
Venus sometimes looked more defensive against Serena, but it's actually because of Serena's acute angles that open the court so wide, even for Venus (who is amazing runner). But Venus never hit "helplessly", she can match Serena's power for power, placement for placement, and both have strong mental game.
This Coco vs. Alycia match is faaaaarr and away from the matches of Venus vs. Serena. In fact, nothing ever comes close to those legends' matches.
Hope Alycia will improve. She has the potential of being a champion. She moves gracefully like my idol Serena.
CONGRATULATIONS COCO ❤❤❤
I love the way Alycia moves….
Leyla and Alicia are really lovable, but they can break your heart when they lose 💔
This was a mature performance from Coco. Alicia could become formidable if she continues to improve. She's still young. By the way who's more athletic between prime Williams sisters and Gauff? I want to hear your opinions.
Serena had a power game and could move. Venus had more movement than Serena. I believe that Coco is more athletic than both of them and has the capability of being a good bridge between Venus and Serena. She's only 19 (soon to be 20) and still working on her serve (which is scary considering where it is) and forehand, but her backhand is solid (like Venus), and her defense is stellar. What people fail to realize about these young players is that they're yet to come into their adult body...so even with strength training, they're not at optimal capacity. Can you imagine when Coco starts to move into her prime? She will be a force to be reckoned with because she's already developing consistency in match wins and strong mentality...when the weak parts of her game are corrected and perfected...wow...like I said earlier, she will be a cheat code version of Venus and Serena. Nobody on the tour can match that... there's future dominance in Coco's future, and she's on the right path.
Too much hype for Parks going into this match and she got blown away back into the stone ages.
yah so bad she hasnt won a matchsince this drumming....
Young American 🇺🇸 girls are clamping up in tennis 👍🤩❤️
Well done Coco!
Yes coco!!!!!❤❤❤
Great game GO COCO 🎾💚
The future women of American Tennis!
Very good match between these two ladies. I was rooting for Coco, mainly I feel she can go further in this Open than Alicia can right now. I would like to see Coco this tournament to add to her U S Open win.
Same here Barbara. I would like to see Coco going all the way and win it.
GO COCO!!!!❤❤❤❤
For sure DEFINITELY no DOUBT 😊
Give Parks one more year and Parks vs Gauff will be a classic every tournament
Not. Iga and SABALENKA destroy both .
Ha. Not even close. She needs a few more years to develop consistency and to learn you don’t try to crush every ball. After Wimbledon when coco beat Venus Williams, it took 3 more years to get to where she is now.
Parks is fours years older than Gauff anyways but I'm not trying to compare. She can still win huge tournaments. I think she has to have more belief in herself.
@@lashame1 I don’t think her belief is the problem. Her one dimension game is the problem. She is a big hitter, just lacks control and problem solving skills. Clearly it didn’t work in the first set, so she should have tried something different, but didn’t.
In a year Parks wont be in the top 200 🤣
Parks has to work on her patience.
Tennis is no picnic competing!
It was surreal watching Parks move on court. She moves so much like Serena did, hits her strokes quite similarly, and has a number of similar mannerisms to Serena between points. It was like watching a younger Serena. Very much looking forward to seeing how Parks develops her natural skills in the next couple of years.
Classy✨ Beautiful girls 🌟
I watched this match.
Parks was dumping everything into the net.
So many errors.
She might just be all potential.
Parks saying “this is the match everybody has been waiting for” and “I play the best in the big stage” are 2 tho he she should have kept to herself. It’s funny she thinks “everybody” but Smurf to see them play. Nobody knows who parks is.
The new Venus and Serena ❤️💪🏿
You see that too!?!!..😮
Thank god
Parks was very nervous and couldn't play her game.
Because of the opponent!
@@davidgivins4203 Lol. No because it's a grandslam. Co Co is average. Iga or SABALENKA will destroy her
Soon, we'll be seeing these two meeting in the finals all the time.
thats funny!
go watch Parks from TODAY vs Burel and see if you still believe that
It seems Alycia plays "too safe". Hit at those angles, hit with speed, and trust your judgement!!!
Awesome Coco
Parks has to become the pre-eminent serve and volley player on the tour...she has nice groundstrokes, but she needs to serve and volley. If anyone on the tour can do it and be successful, it's her. If I were her coach, I'd tell her that and coach her that way.
she has terrible footwork and hands...that's never happening
shes not coachable, Sasha B. left this train wreck...just TODAY, Parks lost in Qualifying playing the SAME tired, 1 trick servebot game. DFs and UE's galore...
Every single highlight was dedicated to
Alycia. Every single one. Either it was a winner point from her or her unforced errors.
That is what i was thinking
well that was a match for coco to move forward,but i thought alycia parks was going to be a challenge for coco to really push her in a tight match,but parks was not at her best in this one sided match.but the challenge for coco will come in the semi-finals,from either krejcikova,or sabalenka,and if she beats one of them she will be in finals and will win her second grandslam hands down.
I think the Real Challenge in the end is going to be Sloan Stevens. Sloan Stevens already beat Coco Gauff a few years ago.
@@curtisjones400so
@@curtisjones400 so you think sloane stephens is going to be in the finals,you got to be kidding me.
@@roybrown7357 Don't forget that Sloan Stevens won the Austrialian Open back in 2017. She just won a match in the 2nd Round the other day. I don't see why she might not be in the finals.
sloane won the 2017 us open.i new it,you do not know anything about tennis,you are probably now learning the game,i thought so.ok so long and take care.
GAUF ❤
Alysia has amazing power she just has to be patient with hershots . better shot selection and she will win more
hasnt ...still terrible....
Gauff will drain your energy. she's not superb, but she just makes you play extra shots. Just like Medvedev. it might not work consistently against the top 2 or top 3 players, but it's good enough to stay in the top 5 and beats over 90% of the WTA consistently.
Parks has always had high end power but a very low shot tolerance. She simply makes too many unforced errors without enough winners to compensate. Hopefully she will continue to improve on this but I have my doubts.
Both girls have exceptional talent. Wouldn’t be surprised if they become friendly rivals playing against each other in grand slam finals in the future. I met Alycia two years ago at the Miami Open. She was very kind.
🤣🤣🤣
Glory be to God.weldone bestie coco..u mk a proud African mom in the whole wide world...
Alycia don't give up u on the ryt track.God.s tym is the best.
Parks RN is very hard to watch because she has so many weapons that she's not utilizing correctly. Her return stance and moving up into the return is a huge disadvantage for her consistency and strike of the ball. Also, she has got to learn how to fight harder when she's down. See seems to get mentally tangled. Very unfortunate because she has such a beautiful game.
All Coco had to do was play her B game.
Congrats Coco and, plz Parks use this money to get better on court coaching and off court mental coaching
Parks could have exploited Gauff forehand with powerful groundstrokes!!
I’m obsessed with Alycia’s serves ❤
They played a great match parks is coming on
go check recent results
Parks has not played a lot of tennis but once she get some experience she will be a contender. Coco is coco at this point she just got to gobble up titles.
Coco will be unstoppable after winning the US Open. Confidence is high.
Alycia Parks, wow! I like this girl already, she looks majestic, and beautiful. She is only 15 years old. What if she gets considerably better? By the time this girl is 25 years old if she can improve. She will have made more money than Serena LOL. She has battled Coco Gauff who is now world number 2 in Tennis? That is crazy!
Congrats to both of you. I’m just amazed seeing so many arm chair quarterback coaches on here many of whom I would bet can’t play high school tennis. It’s a competition, so we expect a winner and a loser and the end as normal. Some of opinions expressed are out right silly in my opinion. These girls have more at this age than most of the opinionated arm chair coaches.
