Maria Sakkari vs Alycia Parks prediction

Maria Sakkari is seeded for the Miami Open. The Greek defeated Lilli Tagger to make the third-round at Indian Wells. However, Sakkari would lose to Iga Swiatek in a rematch of the 2022 and 2024 finals at the event, with the six-time Grand Slam champion winning in straight sets once again. Nevertheless, there are positives for Sakkari to take, especially after her run to the semi-finals of the Qatar Open last month, which saw her beat Swiatek.

She faces Alycia Parks. The American won her first-round match against Sinja Kraus in straight sets. However, there were 11 breaks of serve throughout, with Parks taking the first set despite going an early break down and then recovering from a 4-0 deficit in the second to win 7-5 7-6 (4).

Parks leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a win over Sakkari in Ostrava four years ago. The American is erratic but can be dangerous at times, especially if her serve is firing. The former world number three is the favourite, but she may be tested at times.
