Alycia Parks: Modelled on Serena and Venus Williams
Parks has also been linked to Venus Williams.
At the 2021 US Open, Parks tied the record for the fastest serve at the tournament by a woman ever, matching the elder Williams sister’s 129 mph bomb. It was also the fifth fastest serve ever on the WTA Tour.
Parks got to hit with both of the Williams sisters at the US Open, both of whom she modelled her game on growing up.
“It felt good at the US Open that I got to hit with both of them,” she told the Palm Beach Post..
“Serena especially, because I look up to Serena. She’s the GOAT of tennis. What can you do besides look up to her? She’s literally tennis.”
“I pattern myself after Serena because of her serve, but I also like Venus’ movement.”
“I do see myself in the top 10 next year, which is pretty high, but it’s definitely doable. So I think top 10 next year is a goal for me.
