World No. 1 and three-time champion Serena Williams withdrew from the tournament due to a foot surgery sustained from an exhibition match. Caroline Wozniacki was in contention to gain the top ranking by winning the title, but lost to Zvonareva in the semifinals.

This was the final major appearance for former world No. 3 Elena Dementieva; she was defeated in the fourth round by Samantha Stosur.
