The 18-year-old from Sheffield has risen from outside the world's top 600 to 368 in the world in the last six months, and is ranked ninth in Britain.

Last year she was recruited to the Monte Carlo Tennis Academy - the world's first touring tennis academy where only players with top-100 potential are considered.

Anna will continue to send regular diaries over the next year and here she answers some of your questions.

Did you think you would win the Wimbledon juniors?
Huzaifah, 14, Blackburn
Yes. I had the belief I could win it if I put my game on the court, but also the knowledge that I could lose first round, which is important in keeping focused. Believing doesn't mean you will definitely win of course, but it means you'll give yourself the chance, and I was pleased I did that. I'm disappointed I didn't win the tournament, but proud of my performances.

What tournaments are you entering over the next few weeks to improve your ranking? Will you attempt to qualify for the US Open?
Alwyn Price, 38, London
I'm on holiday this week after a few weeks in Canada where I reached a singles semi-final, won a doubles title and reached my highest singles and doubles rankings yet. I might be going to Russia to play some events or playing some here in the UK after my holiday. Then I'll go to Bali, India and the United States.

I want to go all the way and become a Grand Slam champion. I really don't want to consider other options

I'm not going to the US Open because my ranking isn't high enough yet to try to qualify for the senior event, and I'd already decided that Wimbledon would be my last junior event. There's a bit of me that would have liked to go to the US Open juniors to try to win that, but there's more experience to be gained from playing senior tournaments.

Hey Anna, just wondering how you found the transition moving from Britain to a tennis academy in Monte Carlo? Was it easy, hard or stressful?
Andrew MacLean, 14, Edinburgh
The Monte Carlo Tennis Academy (MCTA) has its base in Monte Carlo but it's actually a touring academy - the only one of its type in the world - so I don't actually live in Monte Carlo. I certainly don't live a Monte Carlo lifestyle! I spend a few months a year there when the Academy players and coaches join up for training blocks.

Sheffield is my home town, but I basically live on the road. I enjoy the lifestyle and don't find it stressful the way some players do, and anyway, there is always the telephone for me to keep in touch with my family. If you want to be a champion, you can't afford to get homesick. Also, the MCTA coaching team is the same as I had at the Leeds Academy before it, so that helped with the transition.

Hey Anna, being from Sheffield, to relax do you listen to that small band from your hometown called the Arctic Monkeys???
Neil Cross, 35, Ottawa, Canada
Yeah, I love the Arctic Monkeys. My brothers went to see them in concert recently. I travel with my iPod the whole time and have them on it. The iPod is permanently on shuffle and I hook it up to my speakers in the hotel room.

How are you coping with moving onto the main tour from juniors?
Jamie Smith, 23, Aberdeen
Fine so far, thank you. My game is strong but my execution is still too erratic for the top 200, which is my next target. Players behave differently on and off court on the main tour. Opponents would sometimes quit in matches at junior level and you would have parents shouting from the sidelines, but players are much tougher on the main tour, they don't give you anything really and you have to be prepared for that. The MCTA coaching team are helping me with the transition.

How much time do you spend training and how did you fit it in around your schooling?
Simon Harrington, 12, Whitstable
Hi Simon, I went to an academy in Leeds when I was your age, and the school I was at was linked to it. The school really helped us to fulfil our ambitions. Sometimes we would miss lessons to play tennis but then they would arrange extra tutorials, or if we were travelling, they would send us work through the post.

Fitzpatrick is looking to make the step up to senior level

These days, I train five or six hours a day: usually two hours on court in the morning, an hour or two in the gym, and then a couple more hours in the afternoon. When I was 12 I did four hours a day, four days a week. At first it did seem a lot and I think my parents were shocked, but I realised that it's what everyone was doing and that kids abroad were doing more.

How do you survive financially being ranked where you are? Do you attract sponsors? Do you want to go as far as you can at tennis or do you see yourself studying and taking another option? What are the most expensive parts of trying to become a top tennis player?
Jeremy Pepper, 44, St Neots
I am lucky in that the MCTA are investing in my future and they look after everything. They get some help from the LTA and have investors but the travel is a huge cost. The coaches and trainers all have to be paid and their expenses covered as well as the players' expenses, so the academy is always looking for people who are prepared to invest.

606: DEBATE How far can Anna go?

Individually, I have no sponsors other than Head, which is through the Academy. They give me a big racquet bag full of the equipment I need. I want to go all the way and eventually become a Grand Slam champion and I really don't want to consider other options.

Do you feel that enough is being done by the LTA to help people like yourself?
Dave Earl, 45, East Sussex
When I did well at Wimbledon, the MCTA was promised more help by the LTA so hopefully that will happen. So far the support has been good but extra help now is so important because I don't have any individual sponsors yet and the costs of travel when you are trying to break through are so high. Once you break through, it is easier to get sponsors, but right now the LTA support is invaluable.

Hi Anna, do you get on with other British girls like Naomi Cavaday and Jade Curtis? Because at my tennis club some of the girls are mean and they just want to beat me. Is it like this on the professional bit? Thank you so much, good luck with everything.
Alex, 9, Surrey
Hi Alex, thanks a lot. Yes, I get on with both Naomi Cavaday and Jade Curtis. I know both of them quite well. I shared a room with Jade during the Wimbledon period, and I've travelled with Naomi a bit in the past.

Still, it's different when you're on court. There's nothing wrong with the girls at your club wanting to beat you, even though it can seem a bit mean. You should take it as a compliment and a challenge. It means they're scared of you! I get on with most players off the court, but when we go on court, even if I'm playing a friend, we have to forget that friendship until the match is over.

Anna, I was watching you at Wimbledon, you were amazing! What do you like to do in your spare time?
Kaye, 17, Glasgow
Thank you very much! When I am at tournaments I don't really get much spare time, but I'll go to the cinema with other players or my coaches and listen to music. I saw Harry Potter recently - I love Harry Potter. I'm going to take the new book on holiday with me next week.

I can't believe my brothers have been allowed to send questions in!

I'm going to Lanzarote with my family for a week - it'll be interesting to see if we can get through it without arguing all the time! It'll be nice but I'm not someone who can just lie there - I have to run around or swim and I've usually had enough after three or four days and want to get back to a tennis tournament!

If you could play mixed doubles with any player, who would it be and why?
Vicki, 20, West Yorkshire
For looks, Tommy Haas! He's the hottest player out there. For tennis alone it would have to be Roger Federer because he is just ridiculously good. He doesn't play mixed doubles unfortunately, but maybe I can get him to make an exception for me. OK, maybe not!

Last year, I was lucky enough to play in an exhibition doubles with Mansour Bahrami and Pat Cash in Yorkshire. That was brilliant. Next year, I might get a chance to play with Wesley Moodie at Wimbledon, which would be great. Wes won the Wimbledon doubles title a few years ago and he recently joined the Monte Carlo Tennis Academy as well.

As a huge fan of yours, has there been any love interest since your successful run at Wimbledon?
Joe Gill, 18, Dronfield (Sheffield)
Well, I've had a couple of marriage proposals - have a look at the question below if you don't believe me!

Hi Anna, if I promise to do the cooking, will you marry me? I'm not a fat bloke, promise!
Love Tim, Surrey
Well first of all, I'm quite disappointed that you're not a fat bloke, but if you're up to doing a 100% of the housework as well as the cooking, I might consider it. My cooking currently runs to omelette, stir-fry, beans on toast and not much else.

Exactly how much will you have to earn before you buy your brothers birthday or Christmas presents?
Cinnamon Bagel, 27, Sheffield
I can't believe my brothers have been allowed to send questions in! Anyway, I've just bought one of you a birthday present, so you can stick that. To answer the question: the day I earn more money than all of you put together!
