Serena Williams was the defending champion, but lost in the final to Garbiñe Muguruza, 5–7, 4–6. Williams was attempting, for the third time, to equal Steffi Graf's Open Era record of 22 major singles titles. She was also attempting to become only the second player, after Steffi Graf, to complete a quadruple Career Grand Slam. Muguruza became just the second Spanish woman in history, after three-time champion Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, to win the French Open.
The top three seeds (Williams, Agnieszka Radwańska and Angelique Kerber) were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking at the start of the tournament. Williams retained the top spot after Kerber and Radwańska lost in the first and fourth rounds, respectively.
Kiki Bertens became the first Dutch woman to reach the semi-final of a Grand Slam event since Betty Stöve reached the same stage, at the 1977 US Open.
