In a tough and high quality semi-final Hawkins/Fitzpatrick saved matchpoints against MCTA new girl Stefy Boffa and Nikola Frankova 6-4,2-6,18-16 to make the final. Stefy was in her first semi-final as an MCTA player and is making steady progress. Coach Jason Torpey describes "The first set of this match was probably the best doubles I've seen from any pairs on this trip, with the only break happening from the only game with break points in it in the set (Steffi's serve at 3-3), and apart from 1 double fault was due to Anna, and Anna's quality of returning and crossing as opposed to Steffi and Nikola's poor play."

Fitzpatrick is partnering Anna Hawkins with whom she will play the grasscourt season including Wimbledon. Director of tennis, David Sammel says "It is pleasing that they have quickly shown form as a new pair. The commitment that Anna Hawkins has shown in travelling to Mexico to build teamwork before the summer has been rewarded. We hope they continue to build towards the grass with further improvement and excellent results."

He added that "After a disappointing 2nd round singles loss the best reaction for Anna was to win the doubles and underlines a growing mental strength and resilience. Hopefully this grit will shine through in her singles results in the near future."

MCTA players have had good results in the last 3 months putting together 12 doubles and 2 singles titles this year.
