Mai Hontama vs. Alycia Parks | 2026 Athens Round of 16 | WTA Match Highlights

I like the idea, but not the execution to just top it off balance a little there. Nicely done, cleverly engineered. An excellent point from the tall American. Oh superb. Wonderful little change up, just open the racket face. Oh yes. Well an excellent comeback set from May Hontama, which I'm sure Alicia Parks wouldn't really believe. It was like a nightmare for her, wasn't it? 5-1 serving. They got away from it. Parks it is, who loses the open. It goes Hontama's way. That is an excellent forehand. That's an excellent finishing volley from Alicia Parks. Oh that is exquisite. What timing with the backhand deflection down the line from May Hontama. Outstanding from Alicia Parks. A fifth game in a row. Roll reversal on grandstand here. Can you believe it? The 25-year-old world number 70 Alicia Parks storms through the second set with six games in a row from two love down. Now what does she have in mind for set number three? Not so fast, says Parks. Too much points for Parks. Alicia Parks edges through a nerve jangler into a second quarterfinal of the season. First strike fire, fearless hitting and scoreboard pressure sealing the day three closer. 6-7, 6-2, 7-5 in two hours 23 minutes. She saved the match point earlier in the match. Broke serve eight times and succumbed five times behind her own serve. She finds her way home on a tricky day where the momentum was, well it was a roller coaster extreme to be honest. Big runs of games from both throughout.
