The 2012 edition was the first such event since the 1998 and 1999 editions, when Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport contested multiple finals of the WTA Tour Championships.
Petra Kvitová was the defending champion, but withdrew after her first match due to nasopharyngitis.
Angelique Kerber and Sara Errani made their debuts at the event.
