Naomi Osaka was the defending champion, but lost to Belinda Bencic in the fourth round.

By making the final, Williams set a new record for the longest gap between a player's first and most recent major final appearances, her first being at the 1999 US Open. For the fourth time in her career, Williams was attempting to equal Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles and she was also attempting to win an Open Era record seventh US Open title.[4] Serena Williams became the second player, after her sister Venus, to reach the semifinals of the US Open 10 years apart and then do so another 10 years apart (1999, 2009, and 2019).

Despite losing in the fourth round, Ashleigh Barty regained the WTA No. 1 singles ranking at the end of the tournament.[5] Besides Barty and Osaka, Karolína Plíšková and Simona Halep were also in contention for the top ranking at the start of the tournament.[5]

This was the first time since the 2014 Australian Open that all eight quarterfinalists at a major were seeded players. It was also the first time since 2012 that all eight quarterfinalists at the US Open had been seeded players.

There were 16 active Grand Slam champions and 7 active US Open champions; all participated.

gollark: Anyway, even with the vague phrasing kept, some sort of extra clarity would be nice.
gollark: Many of the hub rules had/have to be extrapolated from the T&C... it was a stupider time.
gollark: Eeeh, sort of, but "no deducing anything about how the site works" seems a bit stupid.
gollark: Typically legal stuff has to be *more* precise.
gollark: They can be not vague.
