Jennifer Capriati was the defending champion, but she lost to Serena Williams in the semifinals, in what was a rematch of a match from last year's French Open.

Williams then defeated her sister, Venus, to win her first and so far only French Open title. This was also her first step towards completing "The Serena Slam".
