Cornelia Oosthuizen teamed up with Maria Florencia Moreno in Turkey and the pair were second seeds. The Brit/Argentine were second seeds. In the first round they were drawn against Esra Bozdemir & Cigdem Sayin. The Turkish pair did not take to the court and so Oosthuizen & Florencia Moreno moved into the next round without having to hit a ball. It appears that Bozdemir & Sayin were actually defaulted from the match, which handed the win to the seeds 0-0 (Default).

The semi-final pitched Oosthuizen & Florencia Moreno against Jinte Bos & Mariska Venter. The Dutch/South African pair found the second seeds too good in the first set. The Brit/Argentine dominated and took the lead. The second set was a little closer as the Dutch/South African tried to get into the match. However, the seeds were too good and managed to break serve. Oosthuizen & Florencia Moreno eased through into the final 6-2, 6-3.

In the final Oosthuizen & Florencia Moreno were against unseeded pair Ksenia Chasteau & Pauline Deroulede. The French pair had made the final in straight sets. A spectacular win against the top seeds in their first match saw the French pair lose only four games. It proved to be a very difficult match for Oosthuizen & Florencia Moreno. The Brit/Argentine were outplayed from the start. Chasteau & Deroulede only lost one game the whole match to lift the title in straight sets 6-0, 6-1.
