Flavia Pennetta was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Sabine Lisicki.

Simona Halep won the title, defeating Jelena Janković in the final 2–6, 7–5, 6–4.

This tournament also marked Serena Williams' return to Indian Wells for the first time since 2001, where she won the tournament by defeating Kim Clijsters in the final. Both Serena and Venus Williams boycotted the tournament due to racism surrounding Venus' withdrawal before their semifinal match.^[1]
