This second-round match features third-seeded Maja Chwalinska against wildcard Alycia Parks. Chwalinska has 9 wins in 14 matches this season, but comes off a loss in Cincinnati. Parks, meanwhile, just advanced past the first round in Monterrey after three sets against Petra Marčinko.
The head-to-head is unblemished. On hard courts, Chwalinska holds a 4-6 record in the main draw, compared to 37-51 for Parks. Rest could be a factor: the Pole has had ten days since her last match, while the American has had only two.
The duel between a left-hander and a right-hander offers a marked physical contrast. Parks’ serve produced 7 aces in the first round, but also 10 double faults: her efficiency in that area will be worth watching.
