Naomi Osaka is the defending champion.[1]

Ashleigh Barty, Aryna Sabalenka and Barbora Krejčíková are in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking at the start of the tournament.[2] Barty can retain the ranking by reaching the final, regardless of Sabalenka and Krejčíková's result. If not, Sabalenka and Krejčíková must win the title to attain the ranking.

This will be the last singles tournament for former world No. 4 and 2011 US Open champion Samantha Stosur.[3]

For the first time since 1997, neither Venus nor Serena Williams will participate in the Australian Open.[4]

Seeded players

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on WTA rankings as of 10 January 2022. Rank and points before are as of 17 January 2022.

As a result of pandemic-related adjustments to the ranking system and changes to the WTA Tour calendar in 2020 and 2021, players will have the following potential adjustments to their ranking points after the tournament:

  • Players who are defending points from the 2020 tournament will have those points replaced by the higher of their points from 2021 or 2022 (points from 2021 will still be valid at the end of the 2022 tournament because the 2021 tournament took place later in the calendar year).
  • Players who are defending points from the 2021 tournament will have those points replaced by 2022 points only if the latter are higher.
  • Players who have points from the 2021 tournament still counting towards their ranking on 31 January 2022 will have those points dropped on 21 February 2022 (52 weeks after the 2021 tournament); any 2021 points will be replaced by 2022 points at that time.[5]
  • Players who are not defending points from either the 2020 or 2021 tournaments will have their 16th best result replaced by their points from the 2022 tournament.
