Francesca Schiavone defeated Samantha Stosur in the final, 6–4, 7–6^(7–2) to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2010 French Open. It was her first and only major singles title, and she became the first Italian woman to win a singles major. Schiavone was also the first woman in the Open Era to win the title without being a top-10 seed. The final was also a rematch of the pair's first round match from the previous year. With the win, Schiavone made her top 10 debut in the rankings.^[1][2] Schiavone remains the last woman with a one-handed backhand to win a singles major.

Svetlana Kuznetsova was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Maria Kirilenko.

This tournament marked the last French Open appearance of four-time champion Justine Henin, who was defeated by Stosur in the fourth round.^[3] It was also the major debut of future world No. 1 and two-time major champion Simona Halep, who was defeated by Stosur in the first round.

With the loss of Serena Williams in the quarterfinals, a maiden major champion was guaranteed. This was the first major since the 1979 Australian Open where none of the semifinalists had previously won a major title, and the final was the first since the 2004 tournament to feature two first-time major finalists.^[4]
