All of the top three seeds (Azarenka, Williams and Maria Sharapova) were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking at the start of the tournament. Williams regained the World No. 1 ranking for the first time since October 2010, becoming the oldest No. 1 player in the history of the WTA, after she beat Petra Kvitová in the quarterfinals. She would remain the world No. 1 for a further 186 weeks until 12 September 2016, when she was replaced by Angelique Kerber, tying Steffi Graf's record for longest consecutive spell at No. 1.[1]
