And, even more so in person. I asked her for a picture last year and was honestly so taken aback by her beauty , I didn’t know how to act. Her eyes up close are very very pretty
The first mactch I ever saw of Alycia Parks she was walloping a player who had been ranked as high as #1- Pliskova. At first I thought it was Serena, then Venus. And then I realized this is a new talent. Why haven't I heard of her before? I have been following her amazing progress and cheering for her ever since. Glad that she has finally arrived to the big stage. Go Alycia!
I am a fan but I feel that it's too early to say that she is the real deal.Shs is age twenty three and at this at age does not at yet seem to have control of her game; she makes too many unforced errors ( as evidenced in her match against Coco yesterday and in other matches that I have seen her play ). I wish her all the best and would like to see her go far.
Great win over Fernandez. While I do believe Coco is the best player in the world at the moment Parks can trouble anybody with her gigantic game. Coco is hands down the best defender in women tennis and Parks is perhaps the most powerful player in the game. It makes their battle really intriguing and I can't wait for it.
Really interesting comment, since Coco has so much to prove this slam. Not just against Iga or Raducanu but Andreeva first. Iga is queen of the bagels recently. Raducanu bageled Azarenka two days after bageling Serena Williams in Cincinnati (while apparently in a slump) and Mirra bageled Ons Jabeur last night. As I say Coco has to prove her recent form on the big stage. As a Coco fan, I hope she steps up to the mark. As for Parks being the most powerful, haven't you heard of Sabalenca, lol
Gauff is no where near the best player in the world. Alycia Parks can beat Gauff, if she stays low on the unforced error, because anyone who watches tennis consistently knows Gauff relies heavily on her opponents unforced errors. That is how she won the US Open. Sabalenka hit 41 unforced errors.
@@cola7ups823 I agree that Coco is always beatable but not right now by Alysia (no evidence other than wishful thinking) But I'm hoping for a close one, I don't have a stake in it. I backed Andreeva against Coco at Roland Garros when she had her measure and Andreeva also lost it again mentally when she had her match sewn up against Madison Keys. now I've had a decent bet on her at 28/1. If she doesn't win, at least she's been great value.
@cola7ups823 - Hmmm, interesting. You stated that Parks can beat Gauff but I never believed it and indeed, Parks lost during their Aus. Open match. Parks and Gauff are on 2 different levels and it showed during their 3rd round match. Perhaps the nerves got to Parks as she doesn’t have much experience in playing on big stages compared to Coco. Anyway, with much development in ball placement and her overall game, Parks has room for improvements.
Honest appraisal here. I was really surprised that she beat Fernandez today because up till now I'd not seen much from her even though she has a good physique that is a bit Serena-like. But sometimes it takes a really big tournament and the ambience of it and the right mix of things to ignite that first spark. I don't think for one minute that she will have sufficient weapons yet to beat Coco let alone any of the other big names in this tournament, but I see her as a work in progress with a very bright future. Popcorn anyone for the Gauff match ?
she's beaten Garcia in a 250 final. She's beaten Azarenka on clay. She beat Sakkari, Pliskova, Qinwen Zheng, etc. so she definitely has the game to do well here and anywhere. Just needs more match play and consistency.
I'm not surprised Parks hammered a weaponless Fernandez. Will be much tougher against Coco who is 10 times the player Fernandez is. Having said that Parks got the weapons to trouble anybody.
Well we will see if she produces such weapons in a day or two when we all watch the match up with Coco. In my experience she is a year or two away from knowing what weapons she has in her armoury and how best to deploy them.@@MarkJones-yo5un
I so admire your tenacity at this sport, I can clearly see your desire to become better, stronger and a more dedicated accomplish player. Best of luck to you, you do a great job and I enjoy watching you on the court.
Great win against Fernandez today but If God is in Alycia's box then no-one else has a chance in this tournament. Coco credits God for her biggest wins so can't wait to see who gets the nod
Why is it that most of the African American players are always on the same side of the draw? Gauff, Parks, and Osaka all on the same side. If you follow the majors this is the case the majority of the time. Coincidence?
She turned my head a long time ago. She just simply needs to develop more discipline with her ground strokes. Needs to stay in a rally of say 5 shots and more. A little too erratic and haphazard right now. Notwithstanding, she is a beautiful rising star. And must not be distracted by that.
Alycia made amazing progresses. I would like to see another match. Anyway, she won a new fan. ( from french west indies.Martinique) Well done. Bravo. 👏👏👍❤
Man! I thought I had no reason to watch tennis, after Venus and Serena. Coco is phenomenal, and now Alicia. This is fantastic. I watch her play. Just raw natural talent. Wow.
I'm so happy they have support, and I wish them much success. It hurts when pondering that I never got support from my father concerning my athletic endeavors, being a three-sport athlete: basketball, football, and baseball. How can humans be so selfish?
@jimmyowens954 it's makes perfect sense. There's no one who is close to Serena. She's so great that she's in a class of her own. So yea, only Serena is close to serena
Love love love the way she plays ... I'm not sure what she needs to take the next step but I hope she finds it ... she is not the new serena she is the new Alycia
I think the days of one player domination are over such is the strength of the women's game overall. There will probably be no next Navratilova or Graff or Williams as was shown again this tournament by Iga who has one hard slam and three clay slams. on any given day, I'd say anyone in the top 200 can win any match, it's incremental differences between the champions and the pack.
Alycia will be the next Serena Williams. I only know of her now, but from what I have seen, this girl has great potential. Yes, I love Coco, but in my opinion, Alycia hits the ball better. Keep pushing girl.
No doubt talented player but...she needs a better coach and team. All she did on court just blast booming shots with no strategy and ended up being played by opponents or made tonnes of unforced errors.
Why do these people HATE their hair so much that they have to glue fake hairs on their heads. Braids and other natural hairstyles make them so beautiful.
Honestly she needs to loosen up, Her court demeanor is like she is not up against just an opponent but entire stadium. Regarding her game,she has a serve like Sampras but that's it. Today's tennis is more than just strong serve.
HINT: great win BUT...she seriously NEEDS to have some MANNERS LESSONS on how to treat ballkids! she was snapping her fingers at them, waving her racquet at them, nodding her head, nose in the air, being very demanding/impatient with them. She needs CLASSy Lessons to combat her CRASSy demeanor, oh my!!
@@243david7Serena had a horrible attitude. She was just successful, very good attacker (and defender). She was even awful to her husband when she met him.
Yes very true, there is a natural tendency for people to think that. I remember when watching the making of 'We are the World' some years ago and seeing many top stars asking for each others autographs. That was weird because I thought they all went to the same parties or met in other ways. how wrong was I 😀
Im so proud of this you Alycia !! And yes the best is yet to come because this is GOD'S plan for you !! Continue to thank him he is definitely the reason for your success 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The reason there is so much cruelty in war-torn places like Ukraine and the middle east is that God is watching so much sport and can't be expected to be everywhere.@@zetristan4525
Her career is in such a slump rn. Reminds me when Ostapenko lost her magic for a couple years. Too many unforced errors, struggling with double faults... and obviously fitness problems.
Congratulations on your win over Fernandez! You showed out and played hard 👏🏽 well deserved victory! Keep it going and best of luck to you!
Wow. Let's go Alicia. Such a humble family.
She is so beautiful
She sure is beautiful, with a nice smile, and she interviews well. Wishing her many wins❤

Me too. Never heard of her until now. She really looks and plays like Serena. I am sure that with much practice, she would win grandslams.
she plays so well the serve is lethal
She’s got a good year ahead of her! Go Alycia!
What ya mean a good year? Have you seen her play? She is very inconsistent. She has a lot of talent but very inconsistent
I'm so happy for Alycia
The match with Gauff was an anticlimax in the end as it didn't live up to most people's expectations.
She's the real deal. Love her game

Awesome Story! Aweson WIN over 32 Seeded Laylah Fernandez. Example of Mind over Matter💪
What a TenniStory! Player to watch!
This gave me teary eyes
She could down as the most beautiful player of all time. That said; let’s calm down on the wild predictions. We see how that works out 99% of the time
