- Whilst Shelby Rogers had the easiest overall draw, this didn't help her to victory, as she lost to Kristina Mladenovic in the 3rd round. Patricia Maria Tig had the toughest draw and lost her opening match to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
- Kateryna Bondarenko had the easiest 1st round draw, but lost her match to Petra Martic.. Despite having the toughest 1st round draw, Ekaterina Makarova won her match, but then lost to Lesia Tsurenko in the 2nd round.
