Main article: 2010 US Open (tennis)

Kim Clijsters was the defending champion, and successfully defended her 2009 title, after she won 6–2, 6–1, against Vera Zvonareva in the final.

World No. 1 and three-time champion Serena Williams withdrew from the tournament due to foot surgery sustained following from an exhibition match in Munich. This promoted defending finalist Caroline Wozniacki to top seed and she was in contention to gain the No. 1 ranking by winning the title, but lost to Zvonareva in the semifinals.
