Alycia Parks was playing extremely well until she conquered the title in Lyon early in the year. Things went south for the new American sensation that was struggling to win a match. Fortunately, it seems that in Madrid, things are taking a good turn for Alycia who will play the third round against Martina Trevisan.
During a recent interview, Parks explained how she found her way back to victory: “I think it was a little bit of expectations and a lot of little stuff thrown at me. So I had to go back to how I was winning these matches. I had to literally sit down with my dad and be like ‘What’s happening? Why is this happening?’ He said, ‘You changed your routine.’ So I had to go back to that. I’m back on track now.
My family is my own team. I think that’s kind of when I got off track, allowing other people in my tennis to kind of direct me off track.”
