Main article: 2007 French Open

Two-time defending champion Justine Henin defeated Ana Ivanovic in the final with a score of 6–1, 6–2 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2007 French Open. It was her fourth French Open title and sixth major title overall. For the second consecutive year, Henin did not lose a set during the tournament and did not face a tiebreak in any set. Ivanovic became the first player representing Serbia to reach a major final.[a]

The tournament also marked the major debuts of two future world No. 1 players and major champions, Caroline Wozniacki and Angelique Kerber. Both lost in the first round, to Nathalie Dechy and Elena Dementieva, respectively. Additionally, this tournament featured the major debut of future WTA Finals champion Dominika Cibulková, who reached the third round as a qualifier before losing to Svetlana Kuznetsova.

This marked the first time the French Open officially adopted equal prize money for both men and women. It was the last major tournament to do so, following the US Open in 1973, the Australian Open in 2001, and the Wimbledon Championships earlier in 2007 (which adopted equal prize money before the French Open but was held after it that year).
