Seeded players

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on WTA rankings as of 20 June 2022. Rankings and points are as before 27 June 2021.

The WTA is removing ranking points from the 2022 tournament as a result of the All England Club's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from the tournament. Points dropping from the 2021 tournament will accordingly be replaced by the player's next best result, regardless of her performance at Wimbledon in 2022. ^[6] Note that 2021 points were mandatory for WTA players, unlike for ATP players, who were subject to a different rankings adjustment system.

† Because the WTA is removing ranking points from the 2022 tournament, 2021 points will be replaced by the player's next best result instead.
‡ The player did not qualify for the tournament in 2021. Accordingly, no points will be replaced.
§ The player did not qualify for the tournament in 2021. She is defending points from two 2021 ITF tournaments (Montpellier and Contrexeville) instead.

Withdrawn players

The following players would have been seeded, but withdrew before the tournament began.

Rank	Player	Points before	Points defending	Next best result	Points after	Withdrawal reason
