Alycia Parks to win
Alycia Parks has a ton of power and natural talent to hit winners, but hasn't figured out a way to consistently harness it in tougher matches. She's looked better to start the year after a pretty down year in 2024, with some solid wins against difficult opponents. I've never been on the Leylah Fernandez train, as I think she is also very inconsistent and when she's off, she can look absolutely terrible. I think there's value on Parks, who should have more power than Fernandez on fast courts, but only if she can minimize her errors.
