World No. 1 Serena Williams won her third Bank of the West Classic title in four years, defeating Angelique Kerber in the final, 7–6(7–1), 6–3.

Sabine Lisicki hit the fastest serve of all time in women's tennis, blasting a 131mph serve against Ana Ivanovic in the first round. As a result of her quarterfinals run, former World No. 1 Ivanovic returned to Top 10 in WTA rankings for the first time since her loss to Victoria Azarenka at the 2009 French Open. Azarenka had previously replaced Ivanovic in the top ten.[1]

This tournament also marked the WTA main draw debut of future two-time Grand Slam champion and World Number 1 Naomi Osaka.
