2006 tennis event results
Maria Sharapova defeated Justine Henin-Hardenne in the final, 6–4, 6–4 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2006 US Open.[1] It was her second major title. She lost just one set during the tournament (to Amélie Mauresmo in the semifinals). By reaching the final, Henin-Hardenne became the eighth woman (after Maureen Connolly, Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles and Martina Hingis) to reach all four major finals in a calendar year.[citation needed]
Kim Clijsters was the reigning champion, but did not participate due to injury.
This marked the final major appearance of two-time major champion Mary Pierce, who lost to Li Na in the third round.
This marked the first major since the 1999 Australian Open where Serena Williams was unseeded. Needing a wild card to participate due to her ranking of world No. 139, Williams defeated top-20 players Daniela Hantuchová and Ana Ivanovic en route to the fourth round, where she was beaten by Amélie Mauresmo in three sets.
