Victoria Azarenka was the two-time defending champion, but was defeated by Agnieszka Radwańska in the quarterfinals, ending her 18-match winning streak at the Australian Open.[3]

By winning her third-round match, Serena Williams surpassed Margaret Court's record of 60 match victories at the Australian Open. She lost to Ana Ivanovic in the fourth round, ending her 25-match winning streak dating back to the 2013 US Open.[4]

Eugenie Bouchard became the first Canadian to reach a major semifinal since Carling Bassett-Seguso at the 1984 US Open.[5]

This event marked the first major main draw appearance for future world No. 4 and Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic, who lost to Li in the second round.
