At the Sacramento tournament, after winning the first set in her opening match against Jennifer Elie, Erakovic dropped the second set and was forced to retire with an injury. Taking a few days off to recover, she moved to the Premier event at Stanford where, after a comfortable win over Raquel Atawo in the first round of qualifying, and a gruelling 2 hours and 40 minute match against American teenager Michaela Gordon, she was drawn to meet Ana Konjuh in the first round. Unfortunately her neck injury recurred, and she had to retire with the score at 6–3, 1–0 to Konjuh. Set to play WTA doubles for the first time since Auckland, she was paired with Ajla Tomljanović who also had to withdraw from her first-round singles through injury. The latter's problem with her right shoulder was what forced them to default the doubles match.
