Alycia Parks vs Alexandra Eala prediction
Alycia Parks is ranked 100 in the world as she begins her Australian Open campaign. Her best result last year was making it through to the semi-finals in Monterrey, where she lost to Diana Shnaider. She began her season in Auckland but lost in the first-round to Elisabetta Cocciaretto in straight sets, and then she failed to make it out of qualifying for the Hobart International in the second stage after a defeat to Ayano Shimizu, despite taking the first set.
Alexandra Eala made a strong start to the season in Auckland as she won three matches in a row to make the semi-finals. The Filipino took the first set against Wang Xinyu but lost in three sets. Nevertheless, Eala has momentum on her side as she plots a deep run in Melbourne. She is ranked just inside the top 50 of the world rankings and won a Challenger event in Guadalajara last season.
Eala will need to be wary of Parks’ big serve, but if she can force the errors from the American, she should have too much.
