2003 US Open – Women's Singles

Women's Singles
	2003 US Open
Champion	Justine Henin-Hardenne
Runner-up	Kim Clijsters
Final score	7–5, 6–1

Serena Williams was the defending champion, but did not participate this year due to injury. Defending finalist and her sister Venus Williams also withdrew before the tournament began due to injury. Their withdrawals from the tournament marked the first time in the Open Era that neither of previous year's finalists played at the US Open.

Justine Henin-Hardenne was the Champion defeating compatriot Kim Clijsters in the final, 7-5, 6-1. Henin-Hardenne dropped only one set in the whole tournament and that was to American Jennifer Capriati in the semi-finals.

This was the first Grand Slam event since the 1997 Australian Open that neither of the Williams sisters competed in a Grand Slam event. This would be the last Grand Slam event until the 2011 French Open that neither of the Williams sisters would compete in a Grand Slam event, a span of 29 consecutive Grand Slam events.
