Alycia Parks vs Barbora Krejcikova prediction
Alycia Parks has struggled for form during the majority of 2025 and she lost to young Sara Bejlek in the second-round of the Prague Open in her first tournament after Wimbledon. She then competed in Montreal for the Canadian Open but lost in the first-round to Caty McNally. Her best result of the season came right at the start of the year in Auckland with a semi-final appearance, but she has failed to recapture that level since.
Barbora Krejcikova is now ranked at 80 in the world after she could only make the third-round at Wimbledon when attempting to defend her title. The Czech was struggling with an injury but made her return in Montreal. However, it was to be a disappointing first-round exit for the two-time Grand Slam champion as she lost in straight sets to Bianca Andreescu.
Krejcikova leads the head-to-head 1-0, defeating Parks three years ago in the quarter-finals of the Ostrava Open on indoor hard court. This should be an ideal match for the Czech to return to winning ways.
