1997 Australian Open – Women's Singles
Fourth-seeded Martina Hingis won in the final 6–2, 6–2 over Mary Pierce to capture the Women's Singles tennis title at the 1997 Australian Open. Hingis did not lose a set in the entire tournament. She became the youngest woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Lottie Dod won the 1887 Wimbledon Championships.
Monica Seles was the defending champion, but did not compete that year. Steffi Graf's 45-match major winning streak came to an end when she was defeated by Amanda Coetzer in the fourth round.
Until 2019, this would remain the last time that the top three seeded players would fail to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.Seeds
