Career[]

Early years[]

Párrizas Díaz started playing tennis when she was six years old. Until the age of 14, she trained in her hometown. At that age, the Andalusian Tennis Federation awarded her a scholarship to train at their facilities in Seville and compete throughout Spain in the children's and cadet tournaments.

2007-2016: Professional debut, injury and hiatus[]

At the age of 16, she began to play in the Futures tournaments, both nationally and internationally. Párrizas Díaz then relocated to live and train in Barcelona, at the Hispano Francés Academy.

However, due to a lack of professional support, she decided to return to Granada where she continued training and attending ITF tournaments, until she was 22 years old when she went to train in Italy. A major shoulder injury caused her career to come to a halt when she was among the top 300 in the WTA rankings. At 24 years old, the doctors suggested to Párrizas Díaz to retire from tennis. However, she managed to recover, and despite not having sponsors, she looked for a way to compete professionally.

2017-2019: Return to Tour, ITF Circuit success, two 25k ITF titles[]

Since her return in 2017, she won about a dozen ITF tournaments and also played in club leagues in Spain (Stadium Casablanca), Italy (Rocco Polimeni) and Germany (Esslingen).

In 2019, Párrizas Díaz decided to go back to training in Valencia to boost her career. She had a good year, already settled in $25k tournaments and above of the ITF Circuit, where she managed to add two titles of that level (the first of this level) and get very close to the top 200.

2020-2021: WTA, top 100 and Grand Slam debut[]

In January 2020, Párrizas Díaz participated in her first Grand Slam after years of battle. She played in the qualifications at the Australian Open.

In April 2021, Párrizas Díaz qualified for the Copa Colsanitas tournament, with two solid wins. This would be her first main-draw appearance at the WTA-level.^[1]

In July, she won her first and biggest WTA title to date at the WTA 125 Swedish Open in Bastad defeating Olga Govortsova.^[2] As a result she reached a career-high of No. 108 on 26 July 2021.

In August, she won her biggest ITF title, the 100k 2021 Koser Jewelers Tennis Challenge in Landisvile, USA.^[3] As a result she entered the top 100 at world No. 96 on 16 August 2021.

Finally, she qualified for a Grand Slam main draw at the US Open for the first time in her career.^[4]

2022: Australian Open third round, top 50 debut[]

She reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career at the 2022 Australian Open after the withdrawal of Maryna Zanevska. As a result she made her top 50 debut on 7 February 2022.
