Alycia Parks vs Maria Sakkari prediction
Maria Sakkari will hope it’s a case of third time lucky against Alycia Parks.
The American leads their head-to-head 2-0, including a 6-3 6-3 win in Miami earlier this year.
However, fourth seed Sakkari has the home support and looked inspired as she thrashed Great Britain’s Harriet Dart 6-1 6-2.
Parks had a tougher time as she edged Mai Hontama 6-7 6-2 7-5 but there’s no doubt the American world number 70 is enjoying a strong season and is already close to setting a career best in terms of wins.
Alycia will be eager to play the villain here and it may well be a match that goes three, but there’s very much scope to suggest the extra motivation of playing in Greece could give Sakkari the edge.
Alycia Parks vs Maria Sakkari tip: Over 2.5 sets
