Two-time defending champion Iga Świątek defeated Jasmine Paolini in the final, 6–2, 6–1 to win her third consecutive women's singles tennis title at the 2024 French Open.^[1]

Świątek saved a match point (in the second round against Naomi Osaka) en route to her fourth French Open and fifth major title.^[2] She dropped only one set en route to the title (against Osaka) and became the third woman in the Open Era to win three consecutive French Open titles.^[3] ^[4] The victory completed a sweep for Świątek of the Madrid Open, Italian Open, and French Open clay tournaments.^[5] Świątek's victory over Anastasia Potapova in the fourth round, which lasted 40 minutes, was the shortest match played at the French Open since the 1988 final between Steffi Graf and Natasha Zvereva.^[6]

Paolini became the third Italian woman to reach the French Open final and in so doing reached a career high WTA ranking of No. 7.^[7] Mirra Andreeva, who defeated world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, became the youngest player to reach a major semifinal since Martina Hingis at the 1997 US Open.^[8] ^[9] This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 11 Alizé Cornet.
