She claimed “this was the match everybody was waiting for” and “I play my best on the big stage”. She just isn’t consistent enough to beat the top players.

This match went exactly how I thought it would go, having watched Parks' first 2 matches. Fernandez defeated herself that last round against Parks and Parks seized the opportunity. There would be no room for error with Coco, she's too locked in especially coming off the Auckland title. Even though Coco has not been playing her best tennis at AO (like most top seed), momentum is building in her favor, and she's becoming more and more settled for the start of the season. I expect her to go even deeper now that she's regained that #3 seed with the Rybakina exit, and she's got #1 on her mind and in her sights for 2024. She's in the points now with this victory over Parks, having successfully defended her points from last year just like she did in Auckland. She could even win it all as there is no clear favorite for this tournament regardless of what the betting houses say...the eye test says something different.

Double faults really hurt both of them when they match up. If Coco brings a good service game, it's difficult for Jelena to beat her with Coco's defense because she's a good returner and athletic enough to run the court. Coco is not afraid of big hitters. She's beaten everyone in the top 10...including the big hitters.

Yessss!!!

If you’ve been following Alycia prior to her Australian Open run then you’ll see the monumental progress that she has been making during this tournament. She was playing better and better. I’m impressed and it’s good to see. I think she needs to get a stable elite coaching situation as it seems a bit turbulent. I think she’s now working with Sascha Bajin, but he couldn’t come to Australia? Continue to work on her shot selection, shot tolerance, plan B (defence) and she will be a huge force to be reckoned with on tour. In her first couple rounds, I loved seeing her problem solve and measured calm demeanour in pressure moments. Today I think she didn’t play well and that could’ve been nerves. Maybe it was because her serve was off 🤷🏿‍♂️ Alycia will do great should she mentally improve and bring that champion charisma and brashness (in the best competitive way) and intensity she has every time she plays. Fell a bit flat today, but this tournament is a MAJOR breakthrough for Alycia and positions her for potentially an unforgettable 2024 for her. Can’t wait to see her game further come together

@ljett1849

Thank you. You said pretty much all that I had been thinking. I would add that you know her nerves were high because she normally serves about 10 aces per match. Also, Alycia seems to love the net. She has the speed and quickness of thought to get there. That sets her apart from other players on tours. I pray she has the support and stamina to keep growing. Such an elegant display of skill and talent.

Man this was giving me early Venus vs Serena vibes. I hope Alycia Park continues to get better because she could be a future GS champ. Congrats to Coco. Hope she wins the tourney.

Parks played horrible. Announcers agreed .

The Williams sisters left women’s tennis 🎾 in these 2 talented young ladies hands, GAUFF and PARKS.

I've seen a lot of Parks double matches and was kinda taken back at the comparisons made to Serena and the recent comments made before her Gauff match up! That she's a difficult opponent for Gauff! It's no small feat to win a Grand Slam which Gauff have done, or any Championship for that matter! I don't see the instincts or hunger to win in Parks game! With the right coach her game can evolve to a very lethal level..She got the power, her doubles experience gives her soft and quick hands in volleying and placements at the nets! Her ground strokes are too often directly back at her opponents instead of swinging or switching up to the corners which open the court for easier winners! Gauff had that same tendency to hit back to her opponents instead of swinging to the sides or angling to drop net side! Her last game with Iga exposed her inexperienced to swinging to the corners or angling her returns and she was on the defensive throughout the match as Iga was deliberately moving her around! Never letting her get into an offensive rhythm..Gauff lost that match! Parks got the mechanics and skills to be better than what's shown in this game! Her camp need to invest in a strategy coach as Gauff game have made tremendous strides.. Gauff is going to be difficult to beat! Parks was made to look mediocre..A bagel and two games does not a future champion make on such a big stage!

The serve of Parks!!!!🤯

Awesome Coco

Alycia Parks is definitely one of the top 20 contenders in womens tennis. One has to wonder where is her coach/es and why do they not iron out the defects in a game or are they fast asleep. It is possible to run slowmo's over the game to point out her flaws but also show how it is created. Alternatively, what strategies has her opponents used against her and how she can better equip herself to counter those things. What about increasing her arsenal of shots and adding the drop shot because playing a power game can be one dimensional that her opponents are capitalizing on. Parks is highly capable and deserves her place on the top. She should also consider using yoga or a form of meditation to ensure that her play is dictated by mental strength. Great game from both players and full credit to Coco Gauff for all the hard work she has put in to get where she is today. Congrats to both her parents who has consistently stood by her side and supported her!

It was surreal watching Parks move on court. She moves so much like Serena did, hits her strokes quite similarly, and has a number of similar mannerisms to Serena between points. It was like watching a younger Serena. Very much looking forward to seeing how Parks develops her natural skills in the next couple of years.

Yea Parks is going to be dangerous! I love how Parks was watching Coco after their match. She looks up to Coco, I think!

Some people said this match would resemble Venus vs. Serena match (since the similarity between Coco & Venus, and Alycia & Serena). But alas, nothing can even close to the level of the Williams sisters facing each other. Both Venus and Serena are agresive attackers, they never let each other rest and almost never play defensive game. When Venus or Serena had to defend, it's simply because either of them hit ferocious strokes that could be winners against other WTA players. Venus sometimes looked more defensive against Serena, but it's actually because of Serena's acute angles that open the court so wide, even for Venus (who is amazing runner). But Venus never hit "helplessly", she can match Serena's power for power, placement for placement, and both have strong mental game. This Coco vs. Alycia match is faaaaarr and away from the matches of Venus vs. Serena. In fact, nothing ever comes close to those legends' matches.

Yes coco!!!!!❤❤❤

Anisimova is the optimal version of Alycia Parks. Beside her serve, Parks seems to play defense for most of the matches. Congrats to Gauff.

I knew the match was over when she had an amazing starting game blasting aces and then still lost the game with errors. I said thats probably going to be her best service game and she lost. From the two first serves, to having no other option but to blast the balls and try to overpower her opponent…plays into coco’s game. Coco didn’t have to think out there, just stay consistent.

@ask7554

Serena had a power game and could move. Venus had more movement than Serena. I believe that Coco is more athletic than both of them and has the capability of being a good bridge between Venus and Serena. She's only 19 (soon to be 20) and still working on her serve (which is scary considering where it is) and forehand, but her backhand is solid (like Venus), and her defense is stellar. What people fail to realize about these young players is that they're yet to come into their adult body...so even with strength training, they're not at optimal capacity. Can you imagine when Coco starts to move into her prime? She will be a force to be reckoned with because she's already developing consistency in match wins and strong mentality...when the weak parts of her game are corrected and perfected...wow...like I said earlier, she will be a cheat code version of Venus and Serena. Nobody on the tour can match that... there's future dominance in Coco's future, and she's on the right path.

I watched this match. Parks was dumping everything into the net. So many errors. She might just be all potential.

Parks saying “this is the match everybody has been waiting for” and “I play the best in the big stage” are 2 tho he she should have kept to herself. It’s funny she thinks “everybody” but Smurf to see them play. Nobody knows who parks is.

Anyone finds Alycia Parks plays very much like Serena? She looks like Serena in her movement and strokes. Could be a potential star if she continues to build her power.

Alysia has amazing power she just has to be patient with hershots . better shot selection and she will win more

Hope Alycia will improve. She has the potential of being a champion. She moves gracefully like my idol Serena.

Alycia goes for way to much needs to learn how to work the points more and wait for the right shot to go for
