It was her first Australian Open title (following two runner-up finishes at the event in 2011 and 2013) and her second and last major singles title. Li saved a match point en route to the title, in the third round against Lucie Šafářová, and became the first Asian champion at the Australian Open.{{cite web|url = https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/tennis/25875113

Victoria Azarenka was the two-time defending champion and was attempting to become the first woman to win three consecutive Australian Open singles titles since Martina Hingis in 1999, but was defeated by Agnieszka Radwańska in the quarterfinals.

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.

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

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.
