Ashleigh Barty won her first Grand Slam singles title, defeating Markéta Vondroušová in the final, 6–1, 6–3 to win the Women's Singles tennis title at the 2019 French Open.[1][2] Barty was the first Australian player, male or female, to win a French Open singles title since Margaret Court in 1973[3] as well as the first Australian player to win a Grand Slam singles title since Samantha Stosur at the 2011 US Open. Vondroušová was the first teenager to reach a French Open women's singles final since Ana Ivanovic in 2007, as well as the first teenager to reach a Grand Slam women's singles final since Caroline Wozniacki at the 2009 US Open.[4]

Simona Halep was the defending champion, but lost to Amanda Anisimova in the quarterfinals. Anisimova was the first player, male or female, born in the 21st century to reach the quarterfinals and semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament.[5]

Naomi Osaka retained the WTA no. 1 singles ranking after Karolína Plíšková lost in the third round.[6] Angelique Kerber, Kiki Bertens and Petra Kvitová were also in contention for the top ranking at the start of the tournament. Osaka's streak of 16 consecutive wins at Grand Slam level was broken when she lost to Kateřina Siniaková in the third round.

For the first time since the 1978 Australian Open, none of the four semifinalists had previously reached a Grand Slam singles final. Of the four, Johanna Konta was the only one who had previously reached a Grand Slam singles semifinal.

This was the final main Grand Slam draw appearance of former World No. 4, 2014 Australian Open runner-up, and 2016 WTA Finals champion Dominika Cibulková, as she went on to retire from professional tennis after the end of the 2019 season. She lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the first round. It was also the first French Open main draw appearance of future French Open champion (and Poland's first Grand Slam winner) Iga Świątek. She reached the fourth round before losing to Halep in straight sets. Świątek would go on to win the French Open title the following year (coincidentally, she would end up beating Halep in the fourth round in straight sets en route to her title).
