Maria Sharapova was the two-time defending champion, but decided not to participate that year.

Second-seeded Nicole Vaidišová was leading 7–6(7–4), 3–2 in the final against third-seeded Tatiana Golovin, when Golovin retired due to an achilles tendon injury, giving Vaidišová the title.[1] This remains one of the youngest finals in WTA history.
