Ashleigh Barty was the reigning champion,^[4] but she retired from professional tennis in March 2022.^[5] Barty's retirement and Angelique Kerber and Naomi Osaka’s absences (both due to pregnancy) meant that Victoria Azarenka and Sofia Kenin were the only former champions left in the draw. They met in the first round, with Azarenka winning in straight sets.^[6]

Jeļena Ostapenko became the first Latvian to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals.^[7]

This tournament marked the final major appearance of former world No. 1 and two-time major champion Garbiñe Muguruza. She lost in the first round to Elise Mertens. Muguruza later announced her retirement from professional tennis the following year.
