Emma Raducanu defeated Leylah Fernandez in the final, 6–4, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2021 US Open. She became the first qualifier to win a major. Additionally, she became the first British woman to win a singles major since Virginia Wade at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships, and the second player to win the US Open on her debut after Bianca Andreescu in 2019.[1][2][3] Aged 18, she became the youngest major champion since Maria Sharapova at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships and with a ranking of world No. 150, the lowest-ranked player to win a major since Kim Clijsters at the 2009 US Open. Raducanu won the title without losing a set during the tournament, including during her three qualification matches, and did not play a tiebreak in any set. This was her maiden WTA Tour singles title, making her the fourth woman in the Open Era to win a major as her maiden singles title.[lower-roman 1]

Naomi Osaka was the defending champion,[4] but was defeated by Fernandez in the third round.

The final marked the first all-teenage major final since Serena Williams defeated Martina Hingis at the 1999 US Open, and the first women's singles major final in the Open Era to feature two unseeded players.[5] Raducanu and Fernandez both made their top 30 debuts following the tournament. Fernandez was the youngest player to defeat three top-five seeded players in the same major since Williams at the 1999 US Open.[6][7]

This was the first major since the 2011 French Open and first US Open since 2003 where neither of the Williams sisters participated.[8] This event also marked the final major appearance for former world No. 6 Carla Suárez Navarro, who lost in the first round to Danielle Collins.[9]

None of the top 20 seeds lost prior to the third round, the first time this occurred since the introduction of the 32-seed format in 2001.[10] The defeats of Karolína Plíšková and Barbora Krejčíková in the quarterfinals guaranteed two first-time major finalists; Raducanu and Fernandez emerged to become those players. This also ensured that, for the first time since 2014, eight different players contested the four major finals in a season.
