Steffi Graf was the two-time defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Garrison. This marked the first time since the 1987 Australian Open that Graf did not reach a major final, ending a record of 13 consecutive appearances.
By defeating Monica Seles in the quarterfinals, Garrison ended the former's 36-match winning streak, extending back to Miami earlier that year.
