Naomi Broady teamed up with Sara Sorribes Tormo in Monterrey. The Brit/Spaniard were unseeded and their first round opponents were Jacqueline Cako & Cornelia Lister. The American/Swede stayed with Broady/Sorribes Tormo well in the first set, but the Brit/Spaniard managed to get the break needed in both sets to move into the quarter-final 6-3, 6-2.

The quarter-final opponents were the second seeds María Irigoyen & Miyu Kato. The Argentine/Japanese pairing were favourites for the match, however the Brit/Spaniard were on a roll from the first round. The first set saw Broady/Sorribes Tormo take the break and the lead, they never let it go, the second set was very much one way traffic as they eased into the semi-final 6-3, 6-2.

In the semi-final the Brit/Spaniard were against Mariana Duque-Mariño & Evgeniya Rodina. The Colombian/Russian pairing tried to push Broady/Sorribes Tormo hard in the first set, but the Brit/Spaniard broke serve and held on. In the second set Duque-Mariño & Rodina were outclassed as the Brit/Spaniard progressed to the final 6-3, 6-1.

The final saw Broady/Sorribes Tormo against Desirae Krawczyk & Giuliana Olmos. The American/Mexican pairing got off to the best start, breaking the Brit/Spaniard and taking the lead. Broady/Sorribes Tormo however fought back well in the second set to level up, and force a match tie break to decide where the trophy would go. After exchanging breaks the Brit/Spaniard edged the final set to take the title 3-6, 6-4, 10-8.
