Anna Fitzpatrick (born 6 April 1989) is a professional British tennis player.
Fitzpatrick attended St Thomas of Canterbury, Sheffield St Mary's Roman Catholic High School, Chesterfield and Woodhouse Grove School, in Apperley Bridge, City of Bradford. She has three older brothers named Chris, Peter and Michael, who are all keen tennis players themselves and who are very supportive of their sister. Growing up, she played her tennis at Beauchief Tennis Club and at Graves Tennis Centre. She enjoys learning languages, scuba-diving, reading and music, especially Rihanna and Beyoncé. She also enjoys reading and watching Harry Potter. Within the tennis world, she admires Roger Federer, Pat Rafter and Mansour Bahrami.
Anna likes to play aggressively, coming to the net as often as possible. When at the back of the court she is always looking for opportunities to attack and often tries to serve and volley to change the pace of the match. According to Anna, her volley is "what [her] whole game is built on" and her least favourite surface is clay.
Anna's first match on the junior ITF circuit came in July 2003 and her last in June 2007. During her four-year junior tennis career, she did not reach any tournament finals but reached the semi-finals of three tournaments, one of which was the 2007 Wimbledon girls' tournament where she lost to eventual champion, Urszula Radwańska, 6–7(3) 3–6. She also lost in the quarterfinals of a total of five tournaments. Her win-loss record for singles competition was 25–26.
As a junior doubles competitor, Fitzpatrick won one tournament (partnering Jade Curtis) and was a runner-up in another. She was also a semi-finalist four times and lost in the quarterfinals in nine tournaments. One of the tournaments in which Anna became a quarterfinalist was in the 2007 Wimbledon girls' doubles tournament with Jade Curtis. She ended her junior career with a doubles win-loss record of 27–28. Her career-high combined singles and doubles ranking was world No.180 (achieved 9 July 2007).
