Two-time defending champion Serena Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki in the final, 6–3, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2014 US Open. It was her Open Era-record-equaling sixth US Open singles title and 18th major singles title overall, equaling Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert's tally. She did not lose a set during the tournament for a record-equaling third time, and did not lose more than three games in any set.[1] This was the first leg in her second 'Serena Slam', a non-calendar year Grand Slam.
The top three seeds (Williams, Simona Halep and Petra Kvitová) were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking. Williams retained the top position after Halep and Kvitová lost in the third round.
This was the first major main draw appearance for CiCi Bellis, who at the age of 15 became the youngest player to win a match at the US Open since 1996.[2] [3] [4]
