Unlike some players who study specific practice methods, Parks prefers seeing Serena’s brilliant strategy during actual matches. For her, watching Serena in action is a way to learn and improve her own game. She further added that she recently got a chance to watch a game of Serena Williams which helped her learn a lot.

“I would say not so much practice. I like to watch Serena’s matches, which I actually ran across one of her matches maybe two days ago. But I think Serena, yeah, I like to watch her matches a lot,” said Parks in the interview.

While many prefer to copy the routines during their practice, Parks offers a completely different perspective. Even though Parks considers Serena Williams as her long-time idol, there was a time in her life when she did not even know who actually Serena and Venus Williams were.
