Djokovic was allowed to play this year despite remainingunvaccinated from COVID-19 after his three-year ban was lifted. The ban was initially handed to him after he was deported in 2022, as Australia's laws required foreigners to be vaccinated for entering the country when the tournament was played in 2022, but the ban was lifted as the vaccination requirement has been lifted.[2] Nadal was the defending champion, but lost toMackenzie McDonald in the second round.Aryna Sabalenka won the women's title, her first major singles title.Ashleigh Barty was the reigning champion in the women's singles, but she retired from the sport in March 2022.[3]

In the wake of the2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, organizers from the tournament banned Russian and Belarusian flags from being displayed courtside. Nations' flags were initially allowed, but this was reversed after an incident between Russia'sKamilla Rakhimova and Ukraine'sKateryna Baindl.[6] During the game, Russian supporters were accused of taunting Baindl, but the group denied that they were being provocative. They stated that they were merely supporting Rakhimova.
The move came after Russian and Belarusian players were banned from playing under their nation's flags.[7]
