The WTA 125 Angers has seen really drastic upheavals this week; now, it has come down to two. These two are Alycia Parks and Belinda Bencic, and they lie at opposite ends of the spectrum with regard to technique and story. Parks is a girl with the potential to explode into an American powerhouse; her rival is an erstwhile player of the world who is now at the doorstep of rediscovering brilliance. Both come to this final in fine form, making this rather an unpredictable and tantalizing battle.
But who will go on to win it? Will Parks' fantastic serves and fearless style prove too much for the Swiss tactician, or will experience and consistency make all the difference for Bencic? Let's find out more about the event and analyze the match prediction here.

Ranked at 103 worldwide at the moment, it is Alycia Parks that has made headlines where her prowess in athleticism could be noticed as raw powerhouse. Parks has been a hot streak of 8 wins from her latest 10 matches, one of which is a semifinal win over Mona Barthel. Coming from a setback, Parks flexed her muscle with such a big serve and aggressive base game, taking her over her opponent in very tough three sets.
This season has been a rollercoaster, but what it all seems to show is that she really has the mindset to hold up in those critical moments. With a game built around high-risk, high-reward tennis, Parks does particularly well on fast indoor surfaces like those in Angers. She'll be a nightmare to face if serve is clicking and her forehand is on, but inconsistency has figuratively been her Achilles' heel- sharpen it up and she can beat even the ever-steady Bencic.
