2004 US Open – Women's Singles

Svetlana Kuznetsova won the title, defeating compatriot Elena Dementieva in the final, 6–3, 7–5, to win the Women's Singles tennis title at the 2004 US Open. Kuznetsova dropped just one set the entire tournament, to Lindsay Davenport in the semifinals. She became the third Russian woman, after Anastasia Myskina and Maria Sharapova (who won the French Open and Wimbledon, respectively, earlier in the season), to win a Grand Slam that year. This was also the second-ever all-Russian Grand Slam final, the first being at the French Open earlier in the year, where Myskina also defeated Dementieva.
