Martina Navratilova (Champion) and Chris Evert (Finalist) n/a Hana Mandlíková (Third round) Manuela Maleeva (Fourth round) Pam Shriver (Quarterfinalist) Claudia Kohde-Kilsch (Second round) Helena Suková (Quarterfinalist) Zina Garrison (Semifinalist)

Bonnie Gadusek (Second round) Kathy Jordan (Second round) Steffi Graf (Fourth round) Catarina Lindqvist (First round) Carling Bassett (Second round) Wendy Turnbull (Third round) Gabriela Sabatini (Third round) Kathy Rinaldi (Semifinalist)

In a unique seeding arrangement, M.Navratilova and C.Evert-Lloyd were both seeded jointly #1, to reflect Evert-Lloyd's status as the #1 ranked player and Navratilova's as the 3 time defending champion. The decision was heavily criticised by the Women's Tennis Association. As Evert-Lloyd was placed at the top of the draw sheet, she was in effect the de facto #1. There was no seed #2.
