Simona Halep was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Serena Williams.

This edition of the tournament marked Venus Williams' return to the tournament for the first time since 2001; she had boycotted the event in protest of racist remarks surrounding her withdrawal from the 2001 semifinal against Serena.[1]
