小威廉絲（Serena Williams）四強戰賽前宣佈因右膝傷勢退賽，也讓大會第三種子哈勒普（Simona Halep）直接晉級決賽，將與揚科維奇（Jelena Jankovic）爭奪印地安泉網賽后冠。

由於比賽受到屈辱，小威抵制印地安泉網賽長達14年，今年才重返此站，第一場比賽就造成轟動，也被看能自2001年後再度問鼎冠軍，不過右膝傷勢讓她在賽前宣佈退賽，但承諾明年會再返印地安泉。

 

4 months ago I began a journey to play Indian Wells and it was amazing. I never dreamed I could do it. But I would not have been able to do this without my fans. Though it ended early due to injury this year, I have to say I cannot wait to try again next year. Thanks everyone. I love you so much!
