Solana Sierra  in the qualifying final of the Qatar TotalEnergies Open in Doha.

In a high-stakes qualifying final on Grandstand 2, Alycia Parks secured her spot in the main draw with a straight-sets victory, winning 7-5, 6-3. Parks relied heavily on her trademark power, firing 13 aces throughout the match and winning 69% of her first-serve points. Despite some double-fault trouble (6), her ability to save break points and dictate play from the baseline proved too much for the 6th-seeded Sierra.

This victory marks a quick turnaround for Parks, who has been competing across multiple tournaments this month. Just days ago, she reached the quarterfinals of the Ostrava Open in the Czech Republic, where she ultimately fell to Katie Volynets in a tight three-set battle on February 5.

Parks’ current form is a mix of high-ceiling brilliance and lingering consistency issues. While she leads the tour in raw serve speed, her recent 2026 record stands at 2-3 in main-draw matches. Today’s win in Doha serves as a vital momentum builder as she looks to replicate the form that saw her reach a career-high ranking of world No. 40.

With this victory, Parks advances to the main draw of the WTA 1000 event in Doha. Her powerful game is well-suited for the hard courts in Qatar, though she will need to manage her unforced errors as the competition level rises in the opening rounds. Fans can expect her first-round opponent to be announced following the completion of today’s other qualifying finals.
