Career
2021: WTA Tour & Grand Slam debut, fastest serve record
She made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2021 MUSC Health Open in Charleston, having made it through qualifying as an alternate. She defeated qualifier Grace Min in the first round, before losing to top seed Ons Jabeur in the second.
In her first-round match at the US Open, she tied the record by Venus Williams for the fastest serve by a woman[2] that the tournament had ever recorded (129 mph).
2022: Breakthrough, top-10 win & first doubles title, top 75
In 2022, she made her sixth career main-draw appearance advancing to the second round of the German Open in Berlin as a qualifier. As a result, she climbed to a career-high, up 34 spots from 169 to No. 135, on 20 June 2022.[3]
Ranked No. 144 at the Ostrava Open, she defeated as a qualifier former world No. 1, Karolína Plíšková, for her first top-20 win[4] and followed that by defeating world No. 7 and fourth seed, Maria Sakkari, for her first top-10 win to reach her first ever WTA quarterfinal.[5] At the same tournament in doubles, she won her maiden WTA Tour title, partnering Caty McNally. As a result, she made her top 125 debut in singles and top 100 debut in doubles, at No. 79 on 10 October 2022.
In December, she reached the top 75 in singles and top 60 in doubles following two back-to-back WTA Challenger singles titles and one in doubles.
2023: First WTA title & top-5 win, WTA 1000 first wins & third round, top 45 in singles & doubles
As the top seed in the qualifying draw at the 2023 Australian Open, she lost in the second round to Sára Bejlek.[6][7][8] At the same tournament Parks reached the third round in doubles on her debut at this Major, partnering with Oksana Kalashnikova. They lost to eventual champions, Barbora Krejčíková and Katerina Siniaková.
At the Lyon Open she reached her first WTA semifinal defeating Julia Grabher, fourth seeded Petra Martić[9][10] and seventh seeded Danka Kovinić.[11][12] She defeated Maryna Zanevska to reach her first WTA final. [13] Next, she defeated top seed Caroline Garcia, recording her first top-5 win, to claim her maiden WTA Tour title.[14] As a result, she moved to new career-highs in the top-50, in doubles of No. 43 on 13 February 2023 and in singles of No. 50 on 27 February 2023.
At the Madrid Open, she defeated 15th seed Viktoria Azarenka, in straight sets, to move into the third round for the first time at a WTA 1000 level.
