Champion Russia Maria Sharapova
Runner-up Belgium Justine Henin-Hardenne
Final score 6–4, 6–4

Kim Clijsters was the defending champion, but chose not to participate that year due to injury.

Maria Sharapova won her second Grand Slam title, defeating Justine Henin-Hardenne in the final.

By reaching the final, Henin-Hardenne became the eighth woman, after Maureen Connolly, Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles and Martina Hingis, to reach all four Grand Slam finals in a calendar year. By losing the final, Henin-Hardenne missed an opportunity to return to World No.1 in the rankings, following Amélie Mauresmo's semi-final loss.
