Iga Świątek is the defending champion.[1][2]

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. Rybakina must reach at least the quarterfinals to have a chance at attaining the top ranking.[3]

This tournament marked the singles return of 23-time major singles champion, seven-time Wimbledon champion, Olympic gold medalist, and former world No. 1 Serena Williams, having last played at the 2022 US Open.[4] She lost in the first round to Maya Joint.[5]

Maja Chwalińska became the third player in the Open Era to be seeded at a major while also being entered as a wildcard, following Martina Hingis at the 2002 US Open and Patty Schnyder at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships.[6]

Lina Gjorcheska became the first player from North Macedonia, male or female, to compete in a major singles main draw. She lost in the first round in straight sets.[7]
