Naomi Osaka was the defending champion, but lost to Belinda Bencic in the fourth round.

By making the final, Williams set a new record for the longest gap between a player's first and most recent major final appearances, her first being twenty years prior at the 1999 US Open. She also equaled the record for most match wins at the US Open (101) held by Chris Evert. Williams was attempting to equal Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 major singles titles, and she was also attempting to win an Open Era record seventh US Open title.[4]

Despite losing in the fourth round, Ashleigh Barty regained the WTA No. 1 singles ranking at the end of the tournament from Osaka.[5] Besides Barty and Osaka, Karolína Plíšková and Simona Halep were also in contention for the top ranking.[5]
