Australian Open: List of women's singles title winners

The tournament is a part of the four grand slams of Tennis.

The Australia Open Grand Slam Tennis Championship is one of the most prestigious sports competitions, with many players having won the title. Many players have risen and fallen in the sport. Some of them have passed away, while others live on in the minds of die-hard game fans as legends.

The women’s singles competition began in 1922, along with the women’s mixed doubles contests. Since the move to Flinders Park in 1988, the court surface has only transformed once, from grass (1922-1987) to hard courts.

No tennis player has ever won the Australian Open on both grass and Rebound Ace; Serena Williams is the only player to have won it on both surfaces, having won her first three championships on Rebound Ace and her last four on the court.

Margaret Court has 11 title defenses in this competition, 7 in the Amateur Era and 4 in the Open Era. Serena Williams also retains the Open Era record with seven title wins.

Serena Williams has won the Australian Open seven times (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009-2010, 2015, 2017). Margaret Court (1969-1971), Evonne Goolagong (1974-1976), Steffi Graf (1988-1990), Monica Seles (1991-1993), and Martina Hingis hold the record for most consecutive titles with three (1997–1999).

During the Open Era, the succeeding players won the Australian Open in straight sets: 

Margaret Court in 1969, 1970, and 1973, Virginia Wade in 1972, Kerry Melville Reid in 1977 January, Evonne Goolagong in 1975, 1976, and 1977 December, Chris O’Neil in 1978, and Barbara Jordan in 1979. 

Hana Mandlikova in 1980 and 1987, Martina Navratilova in 1983, Steffi Graf in 1988, 1989, and 1994, Monica Seles in 1992 and 1996, Mary Pierce in 1995, and Martina Hingis in 1997, 1998, and 1999 were the following women to win.
