29 Oct
Summary
- Parks, ranked No. 65, has struggled with consistency in 2025
- Juvan, returning from a 2024 hiatus, has surged back into Top 100
- Their second-round Jiangxi Open match is their first WTA Tour encounter

As of October 30th, 2025, American tennis player Parks, currently ranked No. 65, is set to face a stern challenge from Slovenian comeback star Juvan in the second round of the Jiangxi Open.
Parks began the 2025 season on a promising note, reaching the semifinals of the ASB Classic in Auckland. However, her form has since dipped sharply, leading to a 17-28 record and a string of early exits in recent tournaments, apart from another semifinal finish at the Abierto GNP Seguros in Monterrey.
In contrast, Juvan has been one of the more inspiring comeback stories of the year. Returning to the tour after sitting out the entire 2024 season, the Slovenian has surged to a 47-18 record and climbed back into the Top 100. She's captured two WTA 125 titles, in Samsun and Ljubljana, and reached the semifinals in Hamburg, signaling a strong return to form and confidence heading into this encounter.
The second-round clash between Parks and Juvan at the Jiangxi Open will be their first ever meeting on the WTA Tour, with the head-to-head currently standing at 0-0. This matchup presents an intriguing clash of styles, as Parks' power game faces off against Juvan's resurgent consistency.
