Serena
Williams congratulated young American
Alycia Parks on her first WTA title at
the Lyon Open last month.
The 23-time
Grand Slam champion sent a gift to Parks after her impressive week at the
tournament. Williams' jewelry brand,
Serena Williams Jewelry, gifted Parks some
pieces from their collection, which were shared on the young star's social
media. The image shows two bracelets and a gold-plated necklace with the word
"winner," along with a message dedicated to Parks.
“Congratulations
on your first WTA singles title win! As a token of this incredible milestone
please enjoy our winner necklace and Unstoppable Diamond stud earrings. We
can't wait to see you rock your bling!"
The
American was the surprise at the Lyon Open, where she defeated Petra Martic
(fourth seed), Danka Kovinic (seventh seed) and in the final, the top-5 and
first seed Caroline Garcia, who also played as a local with the crowd on her
side. Since then, the world No. 55 hasn’t been able to repeat a good
performance, and after falling in the first round of the BNP Open Paribas
Indian Wells, she is getting ready to play the Miami Open.
