Tennis Prediction: Alicia Parks - Maria Sakkari

Maria Sakkari from Greece will play against Alicia Parks from the USA in the 1/8 finals of the WTA tournament in the Czech Republic.

Alicia ParksThe 21-year-old representative of the USA continues to perform confidently at the tournament in Ostrava since qualifying.

Parks has not lost a single set in three matches, and the day before yesterday in the 1/16 finals, Alicia made a huge sensation and beat Karolina Pliskova from the Czech Republic in two sets – 6:0; 7:6 (7:3). In the first set, Parks completely dominated the court and made three consecutive breaks. In the second set, there was already a more stubborn fight on the court. Parks was the first to lose a game on her serve and settled for a score of 1:3 on games. However, in the middle of the game, Alicia was able to make two consecutive breaks. Here it was already necessary to add Pliskova, Karolina was immediately able to recoup and as a result, the tennis players came out on the score of 5:5. As a result, it came to a tie-break, where the tennis player from the USA turned out to be much more stable. As a result, the girls spent an hour and a half on the court.

Yesterday, Alicia Parks played a doubles match at a tournament in the Czech Republic with her compatriot Katie McNally. Parks and McNally made a sensation in the 1/8 finals and beat the Czech couple Lucia Hradecka and Linda Noskova in two sets – 6:4; 6:3. The tennis players spent one hour and ten minutes on the court.

Maria SakkariThe 27-year-old representative of Greece, in turn, is just getting ready to start at the tournament in Ostrava.

Recall that last week Sakkari reached the final of the WTA clay tournament in Italy. But in the final of the tournament, which was on the first of October, Sakkari unexpectedly lost to Mayar Sherif from Egypt – 5:7; 3:6. This outcome was unexpected according to bookmakers' quotes, however, throughout the tournament in Parma, Sakkari showed a rather mediocre game.

ForecastIn this match, Maria Sakkari is considered by the bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite.

However, the tennis player from Greece has not shown high-quality and stable matches for a very long time. Here Parks is quite capable of imposing at least a good fight, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 19.5 games on the total.
