Serena Williams defeated the two-time defending champion, her sister Venus Williams, in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6-4, 6-3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2002 US Open. It was her third consecutive major title, the third step towards completing her first "Serena Slam" (a non-calendar year Grand Slam and career Grand Slam), and her second consecutive major title won without losing a set.

Four-time major champion and former world No. 1 Arantxa Sánchez Vicario made her final major appearance, losing to Marion Bartoli in the first round. Future world No. 1 and three-time major finalist Dinara Safina made her first major appearance; she lost in the second round to Serena Williams.
