Dinara Safina was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Alexandra Dulgheru.

Top seed and world No. 1 Serena Williams made it to the semifinals, but was edged by Janković after failing to convert a match point.[2] Unseeded and former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic also made a surprise run into the semifinals by beating two top 10 players and a top 15 player, but failed to defeat Martínez Sánchez.
