RETRO. The new champion of WTA tournaments was nailing his opponent 3 years ago.

On Sunday, February 5th, the final of the WTA 250 series tournament took place in Lyon (France) between Caroline Garcia (WTA 4, France) and A.lichen parks (USA, WTA 79). The fight ended in two sets 7:6 (9:7), 7:5 in favor of the American.

By winning this final, Parks won his first WTA-level trophy of his career.

Soon some Twitter users remembered the moment 3 years ago. Then Alisha played against Katherine Sebow at ITF 60,000 in Las Vegas.

While the match ended in Seb’s favor, the handshake after the match turned into a fight. According to Sachia Vickery, another participant in the tournament, Sebov shook hands very hard with Parks, then wanted to settle things with his American rival, but the judge intervened in time. Also, a representative of the Alisha Parks team, who began to address the public, also worked effectively on the field.

Interestingly, Katherine Sebov was born in Toronto, but is of Ukrainian descent.
