Notes

edit
  1. ^ Both Chris Evert Lloyd and Martina Navratilova were seeded #1, reflecting Evert Lloyd's status as the #1 ranked player and Navratilova's as the 3-time defending champion, with no seed #2 awarded. As Evert Lloyd was placed at the top of the draw sheet, she was in effect the de facto #1.[2]
  • ^ No seed #2 was awarded as both Chris Evert Lloyd and Martina Navratilova were jointly seeded #1.[2]
