Margaret Court was the reigning champion, but did not compete this year.
Chris Evert held a 55-match winning streak before being defeated by Goolagong in the semifinals. This was an Open Era record streak length until 1984, when it was surpassed by Martina Navratilova.
This was the last edition of the tournament to be held on grass courts, as it would switch to clay the following year.
