China's Zheng Qinwen defeated Croatia's Donna Vekić in the final, 6–2, 6–3 to win the gold medal in women's singles tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1] She saved a match point en route to China's first victory in the women's singles, and the country's first gold medal in Olympics tennis since the women's doubles in 2004.[2] It was also the first women's singles medal for Croatia.[3] In the bronze medal match, Poland's Iga Świątek defeated Slovakia's Anna Karolína Schmiedlová, 6–2, 6–1.[4] It was Poland's first medal in Olympics tennis.[5] Ranked No. 67, Schmiedlová became the lowest ranked semifinalist since tennis returned to the Olympics in 1988 and the first Slovak woman to reach that stage.[6][7]

The women's singles tennis event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 27 July to 3 August 2024 at the Stade Roland Garros, in Paris, France.[8] There were 64 players from 28 nations.[9]

Belinda Bencic was the reigning gold medalist from 2021, but was on maternity leave.[10] The silver medalist, Markéta Vondroušová, also withdrew due to injury.[11] Bronze medalist Elina Svitolina was the only defending medalist, but lost to Barbora Krejčíková in the third round.[12]

This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 1, 2016 silver medalist, and three-time major champion Angelique Kerber. She lost in the quarterfinals to Zheng.[13][14][15]
