Main article: 2004 French Open

Anastasia Myskina won her only Grand Slam title and defeated Elena Dementieva in the final 6–1, 6–2, to win the Women's Singles tennis title at the 2004 French Open. Myskina had previously never passed the second round. She became the first Russian woman to win a Major. Myskina became the first woman in the Open Era to win the French Open after saving a match point in the fourth round against Svetlana Kuznetsova. This was the first time two new Grand Slam finalists competed each other in the final since the 1979 Australian Open.

Justine Henin-Hardenne was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Tathiana Garbin. This was Henin-Hardenne's only loss at the French Open between 2003 and 2007. Martina Navratilova played in her first Grand Slam since 1994 Wimbledon Championships, having been unseeded for the first time since the 1973 US Open and was being awarded a wild card, it was her final French Open singles appearance. She lost in the first round to Gisela Dulko.

This was also the first Grand Slam tournament in which future two-time champion Maria Sharapova reached the quarter-finals.
