Overview

  • Parry defeated Elise Mertens 6-4, 0-6, 6-3 to win the WTA 500 Monterrey final on Sunday, securing the first tour-level title of her career.
  • The Monterrey victory moves Parry from No. 92 three months ago to a career-high No. 31 on the WTA rankings.
  • She battled a mid-match slump and received physio for back discomfort late in the second set but said the issue is not serious and does not stop her from playing.
  • Parry flew straight to New York with limited recovery time and is scheduled to face Viktorija Golubic in the US Open first round.
  • The title caps a season of steady progress — including a Roland-Garros last-16 and a Cincinnati quarterfinal — that Parry credits to a new physical trainer and that could give her confidence for deeper runs at Grand Slams.
