Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva vs Alycia Parks prediction

Victoria Jimenez enters the main draw in Toronto after a three set victory over Marina Bassols Ribera in qualifying. The Romanian had to retire from her previous event at the Hamburg Open due to injury. Jimenez Kasintseva’s best result on the tour this season was a quarter-final appearance in Merida. However, she has lost 18 of her 31 matches overall, and she’s ranked outside the world’s top 100.

Alycia Parks is her first-round opponent. The American’s average campaign continued as she lost in the first-round of the Prague Open last time out. She did reach quarter-finals in Ostrava and Athens earlier in the campaign, but she also has a negative win-loss record in 2026.

Parks leads the head-to-head 2-0, but this will be their first match against each other outdoors on a hard court. Neither player is the standout favourite for this one, but Parks will be tough to beat if her serve is firing.
