The semi-final saw Bishop against unseeded Bulgarian Zoya Chavdarova. The seed once again dominated, this time only losing one game the whole match. Chavdarova was unable to do anything with the serve of the seed and soon found herself on the end of a big loss. Bishop eased through into the next round 6-0, 6-1.

In the final Bishop was against the top seed Lola Ochoa. The Spaniard broke serve early in the first set and took the lead. The second set was much closer. Bishop & Ochoa stayed toe-to-toe and a tiebreak ensued. In the breaker the Spaniard edged ahead and took the title 6-3, 7-6(5).
