Margaret Court was the two-time reigning champion, but did not defend her title.

This tournament marked the first major in which future world No. 1 and 18-time major champion Chris Evert competed in the main draw; she lost to King in the semifinals. Evert competed in 19 consecutive US Opens until her retirement in 1989, and failed to reach the semifinals only twice in that span.
