Serena Williams was the three-time reigning champion, but withdrew due to injury.

Garbiñe Muguruza, Flavia Pennetta and Lucie Šafářová made their debuts at the event.

For the first time since the round-robin format was re-introduced in 2003, both finalists reached the final despite losing two matches in the round-robin stage.

This year marked the first time since 2006 that all participating players came from European countries.
