Li Na in the semifinals against Maria Sharapova

Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking; Wozniacki retained the top ranking after Clijsters lost in the second round, despite herself losing in the third round.[2] This was the first time in the Open Era that neither of the top two seeds of a major progressed past the third round.[3]

This was the first French Open since 1996 where neither Venus Williams nor Serena Williams participated. It was also the only major between the 2003 US Open and the 2021 US Open where neither of the Williams sisters participated.[4]

This also marked the major debut of future world No. 3, US Open champion, and French Open finalist Sloane Stephens; she was defeated by Elena Baltacha in the first round.
