Parks and Sakkari played out a thrilling second-round encounter at the WTA 500 tournament that lasted two hours and 46 minutes. The Greek took the opening set 7-5 but the American fought back in the second and even saved a break point before winning it with the same scoreline to force the match into a decider. Parks then saved a break point in the final set and broke Sakkari in the final game to win the match 5-7, 7-5, 7-5, reaching her maiden WTA singles quarterfinal in the process.

Parks and Krejcikova will lock horns for the first time, with the winner facing either Petra Kvitova or Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in the semifinals. The American will enter the match as the underdog considering her opponent's recent form (winning six matches in a row) and the fact that the crowd will be on her side for the most part. Elsewhere in the WTA 500 tournament in Ostrava, local girl Karolina Muchova is up against Caty McNally and the winner of the match will be up against World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals. The remaining Round of 16 matches at the event include defending champion Anett Kontaveit taking on Tereza Martincova and fifth seed Daria Kasatkina facing Ekaterina Alexandrova. Alycia Parks stands a good chance of entering the Top-100 of the WTA rankings if she goes further in the AGEL Open.
