Alycia Parks Earns the Highest of Praises From Serena Williams’ Former Coach Following Her Cincinnati Doubles Masterclass

There’s no question that American tennis legend Serena Williams‘ serve will go down as the greatest weapon in the history of tennis. And why not? It was something that literally destroyed the opponent, giving her a little advantage over others. But now that the 23-time Grand Slam champion is not a part of the tennis circuit anymore, is there anyone who can represent a similar kind of serve and follow her glowing legacy?

Well, we’ve got the answer for you. Recently, the 41-year-old American tennis legend’s former couch, Rennae Stubbs, made a huge revelation regarding how she might have found a similar serve among the younger generation of tennis players, rising up to the sport.

Serena Williams’ ex-coach found a similar serve talent 

The 52-year-old Australian tennis coach, even after retirement, follows tennis thoroughly. And after watching the Cincinnati Masters, she has made one thing clear regarding Alycia Parks’ serve technique. While the 22-year-old American tennis player and her doubles’ partner Taylor Townsend lifted the doubles victory, Stubbs, in her podcast show, The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast, compared herself with the 41-year-old tennis legend’s serve.

She said, “Her serve is, I’m telling you, when they’re coming at me… Oh my god, it’s like Serena peak, that’s how good her serve is when it goes in. I’m telling you, she’s a potential top-10 player within the next 12 months. She’s got to keep, obviously, the body healthy. She’s a strong girl, really wants it, she has a great head on her shoulders.”

While the 22-year-old might jump with joy after hearing this news, there is also a tennis player who wanted to have a similar short and shared a desire regarding the same.

Eugenie Bouchard had the desire to replicate Williams’ serve 

Nearly two years ago, the Canadian tennis player on the Ready Play Tennis Podcast shared her desire to learn the American tennis legend’s serve. The 29-year-old tennis star, Bouchard further stated that the serve is something that got her out of trouble on the tennis court. In addition, she also addressed it as the best shot in tennis and detailed the serve.

Bouchard said that it’s obviously the power that she puts in, but the placement of the serve had left her baffled during her classes against the 41-year-old tennis legend. Although both of them have placed against each other four times, Serena Williams has the edge of winning three of them.

While the Canadian star was trying to have a similar serve, Parks brushed her way in and represented that she might be the one to carry on the Williams serve legacy in the tennis world.
