# 2014 US Open – Women's singles

Two-time defending champion Serena Williams defeated Caroline Wozniacki in the final, 6–3, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2014 US Open. It was her Open Era-record-equaling sixth US Open singles title and 18th major singles title overall, equaling Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert's tally. She did not lose a set during the tournament for a record-equaling third time, and did not lose more than three games in any set. This was the first leg in her second 'Serena Slam', a non-calendar year Grand Slam.
The top three seeds (Williams, Simona Halep and Petra Kvitová) were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. Williams retained the top position after Halep and Kvitová lost in the third round.
15-year-old CiCi Bellis was the youngest player to win a match at the US Open since Anna Kournikova in 1996.
