Main article: 2012 French Open

Li Na was the defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to qualifier Yaroslava Shvedova, the first time a defending champion was defeated by a qualifier in the tournament's history.

Maria Sharapova defeated Sara Errani 6–3, 6–2 in the final, winning her first French Open title and completing the career grand slam.[1] As a result of reaching the final, Sharapova returned to World No. 1 in the WTA rankings for the first time since 2008.[2] It was her first Grand Slam since winning the 2008 Australian Open and her first since major shoulder surgery which threatened to end her career four years prior.
