2004 US Open – Women's Singles

Women's Singles
	2004 US Open
Champion	Svetlana Kuznetsova
Runner-up	Elena Dementieva
Final score	6–3, 7–5

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.

Justine Henin-Hardenne was the defending champion, but lost to Nadia Petrova in the fourth round. As a result, Amélie Mauresmo took over the world No. 1 ranking for the first time following the tournament despite losing to Dementieva in the quarterfinals.

This was also the first US Open main draw appearance for the 2011 champion Samantha Stosur. She was beaten by Petrova in the second round.
