María José Martínez Sánchez defeated Jelena Janković in the final, 7–6(7–5), 7–5 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2010 Italian Open.[1] Martínez Sánchez was unseeded in the main draw.

Dinara Safina was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Alexandra Dulgheru.

Top seed and world No. 1 Serena Williams made it to the semifinals, but was edged by Janković after failing to convert a match point.[2] Unseeded and former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic also made a surprise run into the semifinals by beating two top 10 players and a top 15 player, but failed to defeat Martínez Sánchez.
