Cara Black and Liezel Huber were the defending champions from when the tournament was last held in 2008,[2] but both players had retired from professional tennis before the tournament's relaunch.[3][4] As the inaugural edition of the tournament following its relaunch, this marked the first year the tournament was played on grass.
