Maria Sharapova

Serena Williams was the defending champion, but was defeated in the second round by Garbiñe Muguruza.[2]

The top three seeds (Williams, Li Na and Agnieszka Radwańska) were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking. However, they all failed to reach the fourth round and so Williams retained the top spot. As a result, this marked the first time in the Open Era the top three seeds failed to reach the fourth round of a major.
