This is a strong 25K, as it provides a link tournament between Indian Wells and Miami for top Challenger players, and Anne should be in the main draw (one of the many 25K events where she is a former champion). Anna is in qualifying, and her first opponent lost to Anna's doubles partner Ana Veselinovic recently, so will not be an unknown quantity.
Anna's section is:
Chin-Wei Chan (TPE) 3 v Erika Clarke-Magana (MEX) Tadeja Majeric (SLO) v Anna Fitzpatrick (GBR) 9
yep, she's had a fabulous year so far in doubles....two challenger titles and a top 250 ranking but has flattered to deceive on the singles court, 1 good week in a 75k but otherwise a number of disappointing results which is frustrating as we all know Anna can beat top 200 players
she's been developing a very aggressive game over the past year, focused a lot around attacking the net, I guess it takes a while to fine-tune that and get the balance right especially with the quality of returning and passing shots at all levels of womens tennis nowadays
