WTATuesday, 28 February 2023 at 14:00
Alycia Parks crashed out of the singles event but she won in the doubles event by pairing compatriot Sloane Stephens as they advanced to the quarter-final.
Parks and Stephens never played together but they paired up for the Austrin event with a winning start. Both possess skill that is suited for doubles serves as Parks and her serve can do a lot of damage. It was on full display against a very strong combination of Dayana Yastremska and Marta Kostyuk.
They took a close first set 7-5 but lost the second set 3-6. We saw a very exciting match tiebreak where the Americans were the first pairing to get to 10 securing the win. Due to the draw they advance to the quarter-final with hopes of going even further. If Parks can be serving well and Stephens remained focus they might just go all the way.
