Lucy Shuker entered the doubles with Angelica Bernal and the pair were the second seeds. Their first round match saw the Brit/Columbian against Dutch pair of Jinte Bos & Lizzy De Greef. The first set was very close, with neither pair giving an inch. Eventually a tiebreak ensued. The seeds eased through the breaker and took the lead. The second set saw the Dutch pair re-group. Once again it looked like it would be going to a tiebreak. However, Bos & De Greef broke serve right at the end and levelled up the match. In the match tiebreak, the seeds edged through and took the victory 7-6(3), 5-7, 10-6.
The final saw the second seeds against the top seeds Jiske Griffioen & Aniek Van Koot. The Dutch pair were too good for the Brit/Columbian. The top seeds dominated the match from the outset. No matter what Shuker & Bernal tried, the Dutch pair were too good and took the title in straight sets 6-2, 6-2.
