Anna Karolína Schmiedlová was the defending champion, but lost in the first round to Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Simona Halep won the title for the second time, defeating Anastasija Sevastova in the final, 6–0, 6–0. This was only the ninth WTA singles final in history to be won with a 6–0, 6–0 (a "double bagel") scoreline, and the first since Agnieszka Radwańska won the 2013 Sydney International.
