Let’s be honest: if you’ve seen Alycia Parks fire a 120mph serve and then strut back to the baseline like she just conquered a runway in Milan, you’re probably thinking what everyone else is—is this the Serena 2.0 experience we’ve been waiting for?
The comparisons are flying faster than her forehand winners. Alycia, decked out in bold fits and braided hair with goddess-level confidence, is giving major flashbacks to Serena’s prime. But it’s not just the power game or the fashion statements that’s turning heads—it’s the attitude. The presence. The “I’m here to win, and also look fabulous while doing it” energy.
During a recent match, Alycia let out a roar after slamming down a second-set ace, then gave a smirk so sharp it could slice through a tennis net. Twitter went bonkers. “She’s got Serena swag,” one fan posted. Another added, “It’s like watching Serena and Naomi’s sass had a baby.”
Of course, with every diva-like rise, comes drama. Some tennis traditionalists are clutching their pearls. “She’s too emotional,” they mutter. But come on, have you seen the men’s tour lately? Emotional is practically the new dress code. And frankly, we need more players who bring both the heat and the headlines.
To her credit, Alycia is keeping it cool. When asked about the Serena comparisons, she simply said, “I’m Alycia Parks. That’s enough.” Mic drop. Swagger intact.
So is she the next Serena? Not exactly. She’s the first Alycia—fearless, fiery, and totally unapologetic. And if her theatrics and talent continue trending upward, center court might have just found its next queen.
