This tournament saw a number of surprises, including world No. 129 Australian qualifier Jelena Dokic's first-round defeat of world No. 1 and top seed Martina Hingis; before this event, Hingis had reached the semifinals of every Grand Slam event since the 1996 US Open, 11 consecutive majors. This tournament also saw the first time that a qualifier entered the semifinals of a Grand Slam in the Open Era, with Alexandra Stevenson defeating Dokic in the quarterfinals. A qualifier would not reach this stage of a Grand Slam tournament until Nadia Podoroska of Argentina did so at the 2020 French Open. This tournament also marked the Grand Slam debut of eventual No. 1 Kim Clijsters, who lost to Graf in the fourth round.

Mirjana Lučić, who reached the semifinals, did not reach another Grand Slam semifinal until the 2017 Australian Open.[2]
