Leylah Fernandez vs Alycia Parks preview
24th seed Leylah Fernandez is set to compete against Alycia Parks in the opening round of the 2026 French Open.
Fernandez began her clay season with a third-round finish at the Charleston Open. She then secured victories over Alexandra Eala and Zeynep Sonmez, reaching the quarterfinals at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. Despite having match points, she eventually lost to Elena Rybakina in three sets.
Continuing her strong performance, Fernandez reached the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open but was defeated by Mirra Andreeva. Her momentum was briefly halted with a second-round exit at the Italian Open, but she rebounded with a quarterfinal appearance at the Strasbourg Open last week.
Parks’ clay season began at the Charleston Open, where she was eliminated by Iva Jovic in the second round. Following a first-round exit at the Linz Open, she reached the second round in Stuttgart and Madrid but could not qualify for the Italian Open.
Dropping to the WTA 125k level, Parks was defeated in the second round of the Parma Open. Her last event before the French Open was the Rabat Open, where she also exited in the second round.

Leylah Fernandez vs Alycia Parks prediction
Fernandez has shown solid form on clay, boasting an 8-5 record and three quarterfinal appearances leading up to the French Open. In Paris, she holds a 10-6 record, with her best result being a quarterfinal in 2022. Last year, she faced a first-round exit, a rare occurrence in her appearances here.
Parks has a 4-5 record in main draw clay matches at the WTA level this year. She made her French Open debut in 2023, exiting in the first round, and improved to a second-round finish last year, marking her best performance at this tournament.
Their previous encounters were on hardcourts, with Parks winning at the 2024 Australian Open and Fernandez triumphing in Miami last year. Neither match was a blowout. However, Fernandez’s performance on clay this season gives her a distinct advantage in their upcoming match.
Pick: Leylah Fernandez to win in straight sets.
