Marketa Vondrousova v Alycia Parks Head to Head
The pair have played each other before, and that was last December on the Challenger tour in Angers on an indoor hard court. Parks won in straight sets.

2019 Finalist Vondrousova
Four years ago, whilst still a teenager, Vondrousova reached the final in Paris, eventually losing to Ashleigh Barty in straight sets.
She reached the fourth round two years ago, but an injury break and subsequent surgery forced her to sit out the tournament last year.
Whilst she has never quite fulfilled that early promise, the Czech did pick up a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
Now 23, she has been in good form in major tournaments this year, reaching the fourth round in both Indian Wells and Miami.
She was forced to qualify in Madrid and went on to exit at the second round stage, but enjoyed better fortune in Rome, where she again reached the fourth round, beating Maria Sakkari in straight sets in the process.

Roland Garros Debut for Parks
This will be a Roland Garros debut for Parks, at least as far as the main draw is concerned. She was beaten in the first round of qualifying last year.
The American, though, is already a winner on French soil this year, having won her maiden WTA title in Lyon in February.
That, though, was on a hard court. Clay is not a natural surface for her, and she has had mixed results on it this season.
She was beaten in the first round in Charleston and again in Stuttgart, where she came through qualifying. Madrid was better for the teenage American – she reached the third round and notched up an impressive win over Victoria Azarenka along the way.
However, successive back to back defeats in Rome and in a Challenger event, also, in Paris ensued.
Parks has just come from Rabat, where she reached the quarter-finals before suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of the Italian Lucia Bronzetti.
Vondrousova v Parks Prediction and Tip
The surface heavily favours the finalist from four years ago, and, if she can find anything of the form she showed in that run, she should dispose of the American challenge without undue difficulty.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Vondrousova to win in straight sets: 1/3
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 18.5 games in the match: 4/5
