Amélie Mauresmo was the defending champion,[3] but lost toLucie Šafářová in the fourth round.[4]
This marked the final Australian Open singles appearance for three-time championMartina Hingis, who lost in the quarterfinals toKim Clijsters.[5]

Eleni Daniilidou(first round)The First day of play at Melbourne Park saw defending championAmélie Mauresmo advance in straight sets to the second round, along with a string of Russian top-10 players (Kuznetsova,Petrova,Dementieva, among others). US Open semifinalist and Auckland championJelena Janković also sailed through in straight sets, but rising teenNicole Vaidišová had to survive a tough three set challenge fromJill Craybas to advance. 2005 and 2003 championSerena Williams showed glimpses of the form that saw her rise to World No.1 when she swept past 27th seedMara Santangelo 6–2 6–1 despite a relatively poor service percentage of 45%.
The second day was ravaged by heat in excess of 40 deg Celsius (104 deg Fahrenheit) causing theExtreme Heat Policy to be implemented. Many matches were delayed due and play continued merely on the two roofed courts.Maria Sharapova was playing inRod Laver Arena, but before the Extreme Heat Policy came in use. As a result, the roof could not yet be closed and the match had to be played in full heat. She was particularly distressed during the match squandering a 1–0 lead in sets and a 5–0 lead in the decisive set, but eventually defeatedCamille Pin 6–3, 4–6, 9–7, who was two points away from victory serving for the match at 7–6. Fourth seedKim Clijsters, on the other hand, advanced soundly in twelve straight games 6–0 6–0, defeating Hobart finalistVasilisa Bardina. Three time winner and six time finalistMartina Hingis also swept through with little difficulty, losing only two games to 2005 semifinalistNathalie Dechy.Ana Ivanovic lost as many games toVania King to advance to the second Round. The only seeds to fall wereEleni Daniilidou of Greece who fell 4–6 0–6 toAiko Nakamura, and Flavia Pennetta, who lost to 2006 Hasselt finalistKaia Kanepi of Estonia in straight sets. Former World No. 8, Australian wildcardAlicia Molik also advanced. 12 first round matches, including those ofPatty Schnyder andDinara Safina were postponed until Wednesday.
Seeded Players Out:Flavia Pennetta,Eleni Daniilidou
The third day'srain delays did not affect the woman's draw. Minor upsets of seeded players No. 14Francesca Schiavone, No. 18Marion Bartoli, and No. 23Ai Sugiyama were at the hands ofLucie Šafářová,Victoria Azarenka, andAnastasiya Yakimova respectively. No. 2Amélie Mauresmo advanced soundly 6–2, 6–2 againstOlga Puchkova, as did No. 5Nadia Petrova againstGisela Dulko 6–1, 6–2. FellowRussianSvetlana Kuznetsova advanced 6–2, 6–1. Former World Number One,Serena Williams, advanced 7–6(4), 6–2 for the right to play Petrova in round three. At the end of Wednesday there were three American women remaining in the draw: Williams,Ashley Harkleroad andLaura Granville. Other seeded women to win were: No. 7Elena Dementieva, No. 10Nicole Vaidišová, No. 11Jelena Janković, No. 16Shahar Pe'er, No. 20Tatiana Golovin, No. 21Katarina Srebotnik, and No. 26Maria Kirilenko. UnseededMaria Elena Camerin ofItaly andCzechEva Birnerová also advanced to the third round.
Lighter rains than the previous day were experienced resulting in minimal delays. Women's Number One,Maria Sharapova advanced soundly over fellowRussianAnastasia Rodionova, 6–0, 6–3. Number 4 seed,BelgianKim Clijsters also advanced in straight sets overAkiko Morigami, 6–3. 6–0. No. 6Martina Hingis, No. 8Patty Schnyder, No. 9Dinara Safina, No. 19Li Na, No. 22Vera Zvonareva, No. 29Alona Bondarenko, and No.30Tathiana Garbin all passed their second round tests in straight sets as well. Other seeded women #12Anna Chakvetadze, #13Ana Ivanovic, and #15Daniela Hantuchová required three sets to advances to the third round. Crowd favourite,AussieAlicia Molik, clawed her way into the third round againstKaia Kanepi after being down one set, 1–6, 6–3, 6–2. The only seeded Australian woman in the draw,Samantha Stosur, on the other hand, fell toCroatJelena Kostanić Tošić, 6–4, 2–6, 6–2. YoungAmericanAshley Harkleroad upset number 17Anna-Lena Grönefeld ofGermany, 6–2, 6–2. Her compatriotLaura Granville was beaten by 12th seededAnna Chakvetadze. UnseededJapanese playerAiko Nakamura also advanced, defeatingIndianSania Mirza, 6–3, 6–2.
Amélie Mauresmo advanced in straight sets, 6–3, 6–1 overCzechEva Birnerová to advance to the fourth round. She would move on to faceLucie Šafářová who won after only one set when opponentAnastasiya Yakimova had to retire. Former World Number OneSerena Williams survived a miserable first set to defeat number 5 fieryRussianNadia Petrova 1–6, 7–5, 6–3. Also advancing to be Serena's opponent wasSerbian upstartJelena Janković who won her match againstBelarusianVictoria Azarenka soundly 6–3, 6–4. Number 3Svetlana Kuznetsova advanced in straight sets over fellowRussianMaria Kirilenko 6–1, 6–4. Her opponent in the fourth round would be #16IsraeliShahar Pe'er who survived a scare against #20Tatiana Golovin being down a set to win 3–6, 7–5, 7–5 in one of the best matches on Day 5. Also advancing were number 7Elena Dementieva and number 10Nicole Vaidišová who won their matches in straight sets against unseededMaria Elena Camerin and number 21Katarina Srebotnik, respectively.
Number oneMaria Sharapova continued easily moving through the draw after surviving her Day 2 scare due to heat. She defeated 30 seedTathiana Garbin 6–3, 6–1. Her opponent in the fourth round would be fellowRussianVera Zvonareva, who surprisingly defeated number 13Ana Ivanovic soundly 6–1, 6–2.Australian fan favouriteAlicia Molik won her first set 6–3 againstSwissPatty Schnyder onRod Laver Arena, but could not continue her pace, as Schnyder won 3–6, 6–2, 6–0. Number 4Kim Clijsters defeatedAlona Bondarenko 6–3, 6–3 in a quick match. Number 6Martina Hingis continued the great play of her comeback, winning 6–2, 6–1 againstAiko Nakamura. Clijsters, Hingis, and Schnyder will all benefit from playing on the roofed courts during the rain experienced on Day 6, as their opponents on Day 8 will have to play on Day 7 as well. The matches delayed by rain were: #9Dinara Safina v #16Li Na, #12Anna Chakvetadze vJelena Kostanić Tošić, and #15Daniela Hantuchová vAshley Harkleroad. The winners of those matches would play Hingis, Schnyder, and Clijsters, respectively. The roofed centre courts are always seen as an unfair advantage to the top players or the home country players, as they are able to complete matches on days affected by rain or heat, whereas their opponents are delayed and face playing on back-to-back days.
Day 7 saw five seeded players defeated by their opponents. UnseededLucie Šafářová advanced to the quarterfinals courtesy of a 6–4, 6–3 surprising upset of defending champion and number two seedAmélie Mauresmo. Her opponent in the next round will be tenth-seedNicole Vaidišová who posted a 6–3, 6–3 upset of seventh-seedElena Dementieva. Rising starIsraeliShahar Pe'er caused another upset by winning a 6–4, 6–2 over third-seededRussianSvetlana Kuznetsova to become the first Israeli woman to make a major quarter-final. Her opponent in the quarterfinals will beSerena Williams, who is enjoying her current role as a loose cannon, defeating eleventh-seedJelena Janković in a 6–3, 6–2 win. The last remainingAsian representative, nineteenth-seedLi Na, won in a 6–2, 6–2 decision over ninth-seedDinara Safina to advance to the fourth round. Twelfth-seedAnna Chakvetadze won againstCroatJelena Kostanić Tošić 6–4, 6–4. The youngAshley Harkleroad nearly caused another upset but failed to, with fifteenth-seedDaniela Hantuchová winning the match 6–7, 7–5, 6–3. The Li, Chakvetadze, and Hantuchová matches were delayed from day 6.
The other four fourth round matches all took the court on the eighth day, with three of the top eight seeds in play advancing. Top seedMaria Sharapova was pushed to two close sets by fellow RussianVera Zvonareva but eventually prevailed 7–5, 6–4. Fourth-seededBelgianKim Clijsters beatDaniela Hantuchová, who was playing for the second day in a row 6–1 7–5 to advance to the quarterfinals, where she was drawn to faceMartina Hingis, who needed three sets to battle past the number one ranked Chinese playerLi Na after being a set down. She won 4–6, 6–3, 6–0. The final match of the day was the only women's match to be played onMelbourne Arena, with the others all being onRod Laver Arena. There the twelfth-seeded RussianAnna Chakvetadze pulled off a surprisingly easy 6–4, 6–1 victory over former semi-finalistPatty Schnyder ofSwitzerland to advance to her first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal, and would next meet Sharapova.
The bottom half quarter-final line-up was scheduled to play today, with only two women's singles matches taking the court. The first pitted seven-time Grand Slam championSerena Williams againstShahar Pe'er ofIsrael. The unseeded Williams lost the first set 6–3 but grew in confidence in the second set to take it 6–2 and push it to a deciding set. Pe'er looked on-form for victory when she went up 6–5 in the final set, and just a few points from her first major semi-final, but it was Williams who then showed her fighting spirit by winning the next three games to wrap up the 3–6, 6–2, 8–6 victory and become one of the ten lowest-ranked women in theOpen Era to compete in a Grand Slam semi-final.
The other quarter-final followed after withNicole Vaidišová beating compatriotLucie Šafářová 6–1, 6–4 to make her second major semi-final after the2006 French Open. Vaidišová completely overpowered her fellowCzech in the first set, needing just thirty minutes to take it and compiling a 14–4 winner to unforced error ratio. Although Šafářová gave more of a battle in the second set, Vaidišová was still too good for her and managed to close out the one hour eleven-minute match with ease. In the semi-finals she will faceSerena Williams, the first meeting between the pair.
Top-seededMaria Sharapova opened up play as the remaining four players in the top half of the draw took to the court. She was drawn to face anotherRussianAnna Chakvetadze. Sharapova showed her fighting spirit early on in the first set, coming back from 4–2 and 5–3 deficits to bring things to a first set tie-break, where she again fell behind at 5–3, before winning the last four points to take the first set 7–6(5). In the second set, Sharapova took several break point opportunities in the second set, before letting Chakvetadze back into the match but eventually she made it through to the semi-finals with a 7–6(5), 7–5 victory.
Taking to the court after wasBelgianKim Clijsters andSwissMartina Hingis in the last quarter-final to be contested, and one of the most anticipated match-ups thus far in the tournament. Last year, Clijsters beat Hingis at exactly the same stage before losing toAmélie Mauresmo. The fourth-seed squandered the first set, making 23 unforced errors, but began to find her game in the second set. She raced to a 5–2 lead in the second set, but let it slip before eventually winning 6–4 to push it to a deciding set. Hingis raced off to an early 2–0 lead in the last set, but all energy had been drained from her and she lost six of the last seven games of the match to hand Clijsters the victory, despite having forty-two unforced errors less than theBelgian. The semi-finals will featureMaria Sharapova againstKim Clijsters.
Both semi-finals were on the schedule on Day 11, withSerena Williams againstNicole Vaidišová first to take the court. Vaidišová broke early on for a 2–0 lead, but she squandered that advantage. At 5–4, theCzech had a chance to serve out the first set and take the advantage, but Williams fought back to take it to a tie-break and take the first set. In the second set, Williams continued to dominate moving ahead 5–1 and just points from wrapping up the victory, but it was Vaidišová who showed her fighting spirit saving four match points at 5–3 to Williams and then saving another in the last game of the match before Williams finally wrapped up the 7–6(5), 6–4 victory by converting her sixth match point and reach her first Grand Slam final since herAustralian Open win two years previously.
Immediately after, it was decided that she would faceMaria Sharapova in the final, after theRussian ended theAustralian Open career ofKim Clijsters, who is set to retire at the end of the season with a 6–4, 6–2 victory. The two broke each other constantly in the first set, with Clijsters eventually having the advantage at 4–3, before Sharapova reeled off six consecutive games to go up a set and 3–0. She held onto her serve for the rest of the match and broke once more in the last game to take the match and move into her third Grand Slam final.
The women's final was scheduled to be played on the Saturday, with two of the biggest stars on theWTA Tour inMaria Sharapova andSerena Williams set to face each other. The fans who expected a tough battle were eventually disappointed though, as Williams dominated the top-seededRussian from start to finish. Her game was completely on form throughout the match, with Sharapova only managing to hold service once in the first set as Williams hit winner after winner. The second set was no different, although Sharapova managed to hold twice in the last set but Williams was too good and prevailed 6–1, 6–2 to win her eighth Grand Slam title and her thirdAustralian Open title. At the trophy presentation, Williams dedicated her win toYetunde Price, her elderhalf-sister who was shot in September 2003. Williams became the third-lowest-ranked major titlist since 1975, afterEvonne Goolagong andChris O'Neil who won here in 1977 and 1978 respectively.
