Unseeded players Leylah Fernandez and Alycia Parks will begin their Bad Homburg Open campaign with a first-round battle. The winner here will advance to play ninth seed Anna Blinkova in the second round. Alycia Parks has lost both matches she has played on grass this season. The two matches were played in England with the last being a 2-0 loss to Anhelina Kalinina in the first round in Birmingham. Parks has struggled on grass in her career and has six losses in the 10 matches she has played on the surface. The American arrives for this match with a losing record. She has lost 16 of the 28 matches she has played. Despite her struggles, Parks has won a title this season. She claimed her very first tour title by winning the Lyon Open back in February. The 22-year-old starts the week in 47th place in the live ranking, a new career high.

Leylah Fernandez has also struggled in 2023 but she has fared much better than Parks. She arrives to make her season debut on grass with a 17-13 win-loss record. Her last match saw her eliminated in the second round at Roland Garros. Fernandez has also struggled on grass over the course of her career. She has played only three matches on the surface and has lost twice. The last time she played a match on grass was back in 2021. A one-time Grand Slam finalist, Fernandez has not played a Singles tour final in over a year. She will hope she manages to change that, preferably with this tournament. The Canadian starts the week ranked 96th in the live ranking.
