Li became the first Asian player to reach a singles major final, and would go on to win the French Open a few months later. This was the first major where Caroline Wozniacki competed as the world No. 1; she lost to Li in the semifinals, despite having a match point in the second set.

Serena Williams was the two-time reigning champion, but did not participate due to a long-term foot injury.

The fourth-round match between Svetlana Kuznetsova and Francesca Schiavone, which lasted 4 hours and 44 minutes, was the longest women's singles major match, with Schiavone winning in the third set, 16–14.

This marked the last major for two former world No. 1's: Justine Henin and Dinara Safina, who both retired due to injury (Henin's elbow and Safina's back).[1]
