Parry, ranked No. 50, reaches her first WTA final after upsetting Ann Li in the semifinals and arrives with strong recent momentum, including a straight-sets win over Mertens at the Cincinnati Open just two weeks earlier on the same surface. Both players have posted solid hard-court results this year, with the evenly matched head-to-head record and outdoor hard conditions underscoring a competitive matchup where recent form and break-point conversion could prove decisive.
