Kim Clijsters was the two-time defending champion, but withdrew due to an abdominal injury.

Ninth seed Samantha Stosur won her first Grand Slam championship, defeating the favorite Serena Williams, a three-time US Open champion and the 28th seed, 6–2, 6–3 in the final. , She became the first Australian woman to win any Grand Slam tournament since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1980.

It was also a notable Grand Slam for the future top 5 player Angelique Kerber, who was then 23 years old, unseeded and hadn't reached the fourth round at Grand Slam before, but she reached her first Major semifinal at this US Open.
