Amanda Anisimova vs Alycia Parks preview
Amanda Anisimova will open her 2025 season at the ASB Classic with a first-round encounter against another big-hitting American in the form of Alycia Parks.
Anisimova, the third seed at this year’s tournament, has struggled with injuries over the last few years. She has had some good starts to the season but has not played a full year on Tour for quite some time now.
The 2024 season brought with it some encouraging signs as she made the Australian Open third round, reached a WTA 1000 final at the Canadian Open and clawed her way back into the top-50.
Parks, meanwhile, also salvaged an underwhelming season on the main Tour with strong showings at the WTA 125 level. Not only did she make four finals at the level in 2024, she won three of them.
Her most recent title run came at Open Angers, where she beat a returning Belinda Bencic in the final. That said, her performance on the Tour remained poor as she won back-to-back main draw matches only once in the entire year.
Amanda Anisimova vs Alycia Parks head-to-head

Amanda Anisimova vs Alycia Parks prediction
Both Amanda Anisimova and Alycia Parks often play a gung-ho brand of tennis, going after every ball. The high-risk game comes with its rewards, but there’s also a higher chance of the player going off kilter.
For Parks unfortunately, the latter was the case for a large part of the 2024 season. The American was not winning any free points off her serve and her groundstrokes were also often misfiring.
The 23-year-old did steady the ship but will need to be at her very best against someone like Anisimova, who can hit the ball just as big, if not bigger than her opponent.
Anisimova has shown flashes of her best tennis in recent months, beating big names like Aryna Sabalenka, Emma Navarro, Anna Kalinskaya, and Daria Kasatkina back-to-back. That would have filled her with confidence.
When swinging freely, Anisimova can hit any opponent off the court. Her wins over Sabalenka and the ilk are testament to that. Provided that she is fully fit, Anisimova could prove too explosive for Parks on the given day.
Prediction: Anisimova to win in straight sets

In a highly anticipated match-up at the Auckland 2025 tournament, Amanda Anisimova will face off against Alycia Parks in what promises to be a thrilling encounter between two rising stars in the world of tennis.
Anisimova, the young American phenom, has been making waves on the WTA tour with her powerful groundstrokes and aggressive style of play. With a career-high ranking of No. 15, she has already proven herself to be a formidable opponent for any player on the tour.
On the other hand, Parks, a talented Australian player, has been steadily climbing the rankings and has shown great potential with her all-around game. With a career-high ranking of No. 25, she will be looking to make a statement against Anisimova in this match-up.
In terms of head-to-head statistics, Anisimova and Parks have never faced each other on the WTA tour, making this match even more intriguing as both players look to establish dominance in their encounter.
Prediction:
This match is expected to be a close and hard-fought battle between two talented players. While Anisimova may have the edge in terms of experience and ranking, Parks has shown that she is capable of pulling off upsets and should not be underestimated.

Pick: Amanda Anisimova to win in three sets.
