Victoria Azarenka was the defending champion, but chose not to participate.
Angelique Kerber won the title, defeating Ana Ivanovic in the final, 6–4, 7–6(8–6).
Angelique Kerber received a wildcard after the original draw was made. The wildcard had originally been given to Lisa-Maria Moser, who was forced to withdraw from the tournament.
Kerber was given the top seed but placed in the bottom half of the draw, and several seeds were moved around in the draw to accommodate Kerber's late entry.
