Defending champion Jessica Pegula^[1] defeated Amanda Anisimova in the final, 6–3, 2–6, 6–1 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2024 Canadian Open. It was her third WTA 1000 and sixth career WTA Tour title. Pegula became the first player to defend the women's singles title since Martina Hingis in 2000.^[2] Ranked No. 132, Anisimova became the lowest-ranked women's singles finalist at the Canadian Open^[3] since Alycia Moulton in 1984.
