Notes

1. ¹Prior to the qualifying round both   Russia and   Belarus were suspended from taking part in international events by the ITF due to Russian invasion of Ukraine.   Australia, the runner-up from 2020, was given the defending champion's right to advance. They were scheduled to play Slovakia, who advanced by walkover
