Champion	Justine Henin-Hardenne
Runner-up	Mary Pierce
Score	6–1, 6–1

Anastasia Myskina was the defending champion, but lost in the first round to unseeded María Sánchez Lorenzo.

Justine Henin-Hardenne claimed the title, defeating home player Mary Pierce in the final, 6–1, 6–1. This was Henin-Hardenne's second French Open, and her first in a string of three consecutive.
