Alycia Parks Wins Back To Back Titles, Enters Top 100

Alycia Parks is on a tear winning back-to-back WTA 125K singles titles and rising to 75 in the world. Only three weeks ago, she was ranked 150. She also won the doubles title in Angers with Zhang Shuai. She moved up to 56 in the doubles rankings.

Parks has a huge serve. At the 2021 Us Open, she tied the record for the fastest serve held by Venus Williams. 2022 was a breakout year for Parks. She defeated former world number one Karolina Pliskova for her first Top 20 win at the Ostrava Open.

One area she needs to work on is her return of serve. Once she improves that, she will be a force in singles and doubles. Her game style is similar to Serena and Venus Williams.

Angelique Kerber Launches Skin Care Line

Angelique Kerber has partnered with German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to develop a line of skin care products under the name Newkee.  In an Instagram post, Kerber talked about the challenges an athlete goes through to maintain healthy skin.

The two athletes developed the skin care products in collaboration with Paedi Protect AG, a company known for its pediatric skin care products.

Speaking of the venture, Angelique Kerber said:

@manuelneuer and I put a lot of heart and soul into the project – also because we have always been looking for the right products to protect and care for our skin in the past. Therefore, together with @paediprotect, we have developed our own sun protection and care line, which is available from today.

As professional athletes who train a lot and shower several times a day, we know exactly what is important in daily skin care. We have exactly the products to make your daily care routine as simple and effective as possible. Of course, all Care Essentials are 100% vegan, microplastic-free and fragrance-free.

Kerber is a former world number 1 and a three-time grand slam champion. A few weeks ago, she announced that she is expecting her first child. Manuel Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is the captain of the German national soccer team and the Bundesliga Bayern Munich club.
