Agnieszka Radwańska was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Angelique Kerber.

Cibulková won the title, defeating World No. 1 Kerber in the final in straight sets. This was the second year in a row where a player won the tournament after losing two matches in the round-robin stage. This would be Cibulková's 8th and final WTA singles title, before her retirement in 2019. As well as this was Cibulková's only WTA Finals' appearance.
