Equally important was her court positioning and decision-making—areas of the game where she has shown clear improvement in recent months.
The victory over Wang is not just another win—it’s a statement that Alicia Parks is ready to take on bigger challenges. As she advances to the next round, the tennis world will be watching to see whether she can sustain this level of performance and continue her climb up the WTA rankings.
