Champion China Li Na
Runner-up Slovakia Dominika Cibulková
Final score 7–6(7–3), 6–0

Victoria Azarenka was the two-time defending champion, but was defeated by Agnieszka Radwańska in the quarterfinals.[1]

Li Na won the title, defeating Dominika Cibulková in the final, 7–6(7–3), 6–0, becoming the first Asian Australian Open champion and sixth woman to win the title after being match point down (in the third round against Lucie Šafářová).[2][3][4]

By winning her third round match, women's top seed Serena Williams broke Margaret Court's record of 60 match victories at the Australian Open.[5]

Eugenie Bouchard became the first Canadian to reach the semi-finals in the Major since Carling Bassett-Seguso in the 1984 US Open. This was her fourth Major appearance in the main draw (and the first time as a seeded player in the tournament).[6]
