# 2017 Hobart International – Singles

Alizé Cornet was the defending champion, but withdrew before the tournament began due to a back injury.
Elise Mertens won her first WTA singles title, defeating Monica Niculescu in the final, 6–3, 6–1. Mertens had come through the qualifying tournament and thus became only the third qualifier to win the Hobart International, following Mona Barthel in 2012 and Garbiñe Muguruza in 2014.
