Aline Terry won the singles tennis title by defeating Augusta Schultz 6–1, 6–3 in the final of the All Comers' tournament of the 1893 U.S. Women's National Singles Championship. Reigning champion Mabel Cahill did not participate and could therefore not defend her title in the challenge round.[a] The tournament was played on outdoor grass courts and held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Wissahickon Heights, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia from June 20 through June 23, 1893.[1]
^Reports differ as to the reason for Cahill's absence. According to the New York Times she was not pleased with the way she was treated during the previous edition of the tournament while a report in The Roanoke Times mentioned she could not play due to illness.[2][3]
