Alycia Parks vs Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva Prediction – WTA Madrid Open 2025

The first-round showdown between Alycia Parks (USA, world No. 53) and Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva (Andorra, world No. 128) promises to be an intriguing clash at the WTA 1000 event in Madrid on April 23, 2025. Parks, 24, arrives after a rocky clay-court start this season, exiting early at both Copa Colsanitas and Rouen, yet still coming off a strong January run in Auckland that ended in a semifinal loss to Naomi Osaka.

In contrast, the 19‑year‑old Kasintseva has been more consistent at lower levels. She reached the final in Antalya and a quarterfinal in Oeiras, boosting her confidence on clay . Notably, she is the former Australian Open girls’ champion and has already made main-draw WTA breakthroughs, including a win over Zhu Lin at Madrid 2024.

Parks and Kasintseva have met twice before—all in late 2024 and early 2025—with Parks winning both:

In December 2024 at Angers (hard), Parks claimed a 7‑6(4), 6‑3 victory.
Their Madrid encounter in April 2025 added a 6‑3, 6‑3 win for Parks on clay.

Thus, Parks leads head-to-head 2‑0 and has dominated both matches decisively.
