2011 French Open – Women's Singles

Women's Singles
2011 French Open
Champion	Li Na
Runner-up	Francesca Schiavone
Final score	6–4, 7–6(7–0)

Francesca Schiavone was the defending champion, but lost in the final to Li Na, 6–4, 7–6^(7–0), making Li the first Asian and Chinese Grand Slam singles champion.^[1]

The top two seeds, Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters, were in contention for the WTA No. 1 ranking. Clijsters lost in the second round to Arantxa Rus—her earliest exit at a Grand Slam since the 2002 Wimbledon Championships—meaning Wozniacki retained the No. 1 ranking, despite losing in the third round to Daniela Hantuchová.^[2] This was the first time in the Open Era that neither of the top two seeds had progressed past the third round of a Grand Slam event.^[3]

This was the first Grand Slam since the 2003 US Open where neither Venus Williams nor Serena Williams participated in the tournament.^[4] It was also the first time since 1996 that neither of the Williams sisters played at the French Open. This Grand Slam was also the first Grand Slam that future World No. 3 and US Open champion Sloane Stephens competed in.
