Women's Singles
2009 US Open
Champion	Kim Clijsters
Runner-up	Caroline Wozniacki
Final score	7–5, 6–3

Serena Williams was the defending champion, but was defeated in the semifinals by the eventual champion Kim Clijsters.

Clijsters defeated first time Grand Slam finalist Caroline Wozniacki in the final to win her second US Open title. Clijsters became the first unseeded player and wild card to win the tournament, and the first mother to win a major since Evonne Goolagong in 1980. Following her win, she made 19th in the rankings.^[1]

This was the final Grand Slam appearance for former two-time Grand Slam champion, Amélie Mauresmo, who lost to Aleksandra Wozniak in the second round. This was also the final Grand Slam singles appearance of Ai Sugiyama, who was on a record-breaking 62nd consecutive Grand Slam singles appearance, lost in the first round to Samantha Stosur. Sugiyama's record-breaking run of 62 consecutive Grand Slam singles appearances remains unbeaten as of 2018.
