Events

Emma Raducanu was the defending champion,^[1] but lost in the first round to Alizé Cornet.^[2] It was the third time the defending US Open champion lost in the first round, after Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2005 and Angelique Kerber in 2017. This marked the second consecutive major where Cornet defeated a reigning major champion (following her victory over reigning French Open champion and world No. 1 Iga Świątek at Wimbledon). Cornet made her 63rd consecutive major appearance, surpassing the all-time record she had jointly held with Ai Sugiyama.^[3]

This tournament marked the final professional appearance for 23-time singles major champion, Olympic singles gold medalist, and former world No. 1 Serena Williams; she lost to Ajla Tomljanović in the third round.^[4] With her victory over second-ranked Anett Kontaveit in the second round, Williams became the oldest player to defeat a top-three player on the WTA Tour.^[5]

With Williams and Bianca Andreescu losing in the third round, a maiden US Open champion is guaranteed.^[6]

This tournament marks the first time in the Open Era that four Chinese women reached the third round.^[7] Świątek became the first Polish woman in the Open Era to reach the US Open quaterfinals, semifinals and eventually finals (Jadwiga Jędrzejowska had reached the final in the 1937 U.S. National Championships).

Elena Rybakina lost in the first round to Clara Burel; this marked the first time that the reigning Wimbledon champion had lost in the first round of the US Open since Petra Kvitová in 2011.^[8]

This is the first edition of the US Open to feature a 10-point tie-break, when the score reaches six games all in the deciding set.^[9] Karolína Plíšková defeated Magda Linette in the first round in the first women's singles main-draw 10-point tie-break at the US Open.
