Alycia Parks v Julia Grabher Head to Head

Their only previous meeting came on the ITF circuit where Parks had won in a clay court competition in 2021.

Parks’ Only Featured at the Australian Open Qualifiers This Year

She was ranked outside the top 200 last season but Parks has made a solid turnaround since then as a result of some of her performances at the lower level.

Parks broke into the top 100 after winning two WTA 125 competitions in 2022, both of which came in indoor hardcourt competitions in Andorra and Angers. Not to mention wins over Karolina Pliskova and Maria Sakkari at the Ostrava Open.

These two title victories came late in December last year by which time she was already deemed to feature in the Australian Open qualifiers.

And unfortunately for her, Parks couldn’t play in any of the tune-up tournaments either, starting out directly at the year’s first major.

The American defeated Alexandra Bozovic in the opener there but lost her second qualifier to Sara Bejlek despite being a 2/5 favourite in the match.

The good news for Parks is her ranking has still not gotten affected by those results, and she has managed to make the main draw of this tournament in Lyon without having to go through the qualifiers. Can she take a step forward in a bid to break into the top 50 at some point this season?

Grabher on a Three-Match Losing Streak

Grabher looked to have made a sterling start to the season when she shocked Tereza Martincova in the first round of the Auckland Open despite having started off as a 2/1 underdog in the match.

Since then, however, Grabher hasn’t done anything of note.

The Austrian fell in the second round in Auckland to Leylah Fernandez and then lost her opener at the Hobart International to Kaja Juvan. Drawn to face the former world number two in the first round of the Australian Open – her first ever main draw appearance at a Grand Slam tournament – Grabher then fell to a straight-set loss.

Interestingly, like Parks, Grabher also broke into the top 100 of the rankings last season. And now coming up against her higher-ranked American opponent, she will know she has a chance to turn a corner for the season given Parks’ lack of main draw tennis in 2023.

Parks v Grabher Prediction and Tip

While there isn’t much to choose between the two as far as their rankings go, Parks is much more at home in hardcourt competitions than Grabher who is very entrenched on clay. Expecting the American to storm through to a win.
