Playing singles only, Erakovic returned to the tour at the Western & Southern Open where, in a scrappy first-round qualifying match that saw more service breaks than holds, she lost to Kurumi Nara, 4–6, 3–6. She also played singles only at the Connecticut Open. She beat Lucie Hradecká in the first round of qualifying, Erakovic winning the first set 6–4, and losing the second 3–6. They had a service break each early in the third set, then held serve until the tenth game of the set, when Erakovic broke to win the match 6–4, 3–6, 6–4.
