Bejlek vs Parks Prediction 20 October 2026
🔊 Sara Bejlek and Alycia Parks meet in the first round of the WTA 500 in Ningbo. The tournament is played on outdoor hard courts, where both players have had decent match practice during the current Asian swing. Neither has been producing strong results, however, and Parks reached the main draw only as a lucky loser after failing to come through qualifying. It remains to be seen whether she can make the most of the second chance.
Head-to-Head
📊 Sara Bejlek has won all three head-to-head meetings against Alycia Parks. Notably, none of those matches finished in fewer than 19 games.

Match Results: Sara Bejlek
Alycia Parks Player Overview
Alycia Parks is in poor form, with only three wins from her last ten matches. In qualifying for the current tournament she got through the first round but then suffered a heavy defeat against Yulia Putintseva (2-6, 2-6). The average number of games in her matches is low at just 17.1, and seven losses by a 0-2 scoreline in sets reflect her difficulties. Her first-serve percentage is also very low at 54%, and her double-fault count is noticeably above the tour average, which frequently costs her the initiative even on her own serve.
Match Results: Alycia Parks
Key factors
- In seven of Alycia Parks's last matches, the total came in under 19.5 games.
- Sara Bejlek has won all three of their head-to-head meetings.
- Alycia Parks has lost 7 of her last 10 matches, frequently in straight sets.
Expected scenario
The main scenario is a comfortable straight-sets win for Sara Bejlek with minimal resistance from Alycia Parks. Given the American's poor form and a tendency towards short matches, a closely contested scoreline looks unlikely - particularly in light of her failed qualifying run at this tournament. The total games should stay under 21.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Even Sara Bejlek's current inconsistent form suggests she can control the flow of this match: she has a solid record against Alycia Parks and converts her chances more efficiently throughout their meetings. Parks is in the middle of a difficult run, and the average total remains low even on the rare occasions she holds serve well. A straight-sets win for the Czech favourite is expected, with no deciding set. Their most recent meeting, in Guadalajara in September, ended in 19 games. That result is the reference point here, with a slight upward adjustment given the current odds. The pick is Total Games - Under 20.5.
