Seeded players

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on WTA rankings as of 10 January 2022. Rank and points before are as of 17 January 2022. Unlike in the men's tournament, points from the 2021 women's singles tournament will be dropped at the end of this year's tournament in addition to the 2020 women's singles tournament as player's points will also be dropped as usual. The "better of 2020/2021 points" for January, February and March were announced by the WTA in September 2021, even though the 2021 tournament was held three weeks later than in 2022. Accordingly, the higher of each player's 2020 or 2021 points will be replaced by her 2022 points at the end of the tournament. † The player did not qualify for the tournament in either 2020 or 2021. Accordingly, points for her 16th best result are deducted instead.
