Li Na defeated Dominika Cibulková in the final, 7–6(7–3), 6–0 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2014 Australian Open. It was her first Australian Open title and her second and final 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.[1][2]

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.
