Fresh from a decent performance against a top-20 competitor Alycia Parks will get down to business at the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati on Thursday, when she'll be up against Viktorija Golubic, who most recently lost in straight sets to Iga Swiatek. Naturally, this is an easier assignment, but that doesn't mean that the world number 51 is guaranteed to succeed.
The lines ahead of this game (at the time of writing around one day before this match is due to begin) suggest that Viktorija Golubic has a very sizable chance of success. The Swiss player certainly has a chance, but does she really warrant being the -200 favorite. For our money, the answer is a resounding no. Alycia Parks will be buoyed by her recent effort against Alexandra Eala, who is rapidly turning into a top player, and off the back of that, the American has a stronger chance of winning at least one set than the early odds indicate. There's value on offer. Take it.

Our Alycia Parks vs Viktorija Golubic Prediction
Not only did Alycia Parks hold her own for long spells against Alexandra Eala last time out, winning a set, but she also defeated Viktorija Golubic when the pair met on hard court earlier this year. That's not easy to ignore, especially when we consider that the Swiss player has only won one of her last 11 hard-court matches in straight sets. Many of those have been against players ranked below Parks too.
As touched on above, on all available evidence, the American player has a better chance of at least going down without losing in straight sets than the early odds suggest.
Our Alycia Parks vs Viktorija Golubic Pick: Alycia Parks +1.5 Set Handicap.
