1 Until 1985, the Australian were held with only 64 starters. From 1987 the number of participants was increased, which required an additional round in the competition. The laps actually achieved are shown here. Other sources (e.g. the WTA) give a higher number of rounds due to a different counting method (2R corresponds to 64 remaining players, 3R corresponds to 32 remaining players, etc.). In doubles, the increase to more than 32 pairings took place a year later.
