Mary Pierce was the defending champion, but she did not compete this year due to a back injury.[3]

This is the first Grand Slam tournament in which future Grand Slam champion Marion Bartoli competed in the main draw.[4] It was also the French Open debut of 2010 champion Francesca Schiavone; she reached the quarterfinals, which was her best result at the tournament until her title nine years later.[5]

This is also the last Grand Slam tournament to date to feature only 16 seeds.
