Women's Singles
1984 Australian Open
Champion	Chris Evert
Runner-up	Helena Suková
Final score	6–7(4–7), 6–1, 6–3

Martina Navratilova was the defending champion, and entered this tournament with a record 70-match winning streak, and 6 consecutive Grand Slam titles. However, she was upset in the semifinals by Helena Suková. Despite this loss, Navratilova's 74-match winning streak remains the longest in professional tennis history; she was attempting to complete the elusive Calendar Year Grand Slam.

Chris Evert won the tournament, defeating Suková, 6–7^(4–7), 6–1, 6–3. When winning her third round match, Evert became the first tennis player of the Open Era to win 1,000 matches. She finished the fortnight with a 1,003-97 match record.^[1]
