Alycia Parks’ Australian Open

Having to end her run at the qualifiers round in the Adelaide International, Alycia Parks has started her Australian Open journey with a greater force. The 23-year-old will be facing Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in a few hours. While this match is surely going to be interesting, Parks’ recent admission has also been no less. 

While the Williams sisters have inspired many tennis enthusiasts, Parks has a completely different story. Alycia Parks has been seemingly oblivious to the tennis giants like the Williams sisters. In a candid statement, she admitted, “I think it’s so weird how they compare us, because when I started tennis, I didn’t really know who Venus and Serena were.”
