2004 US Open – Women's singles

May 2021 2004 US Open RUS Svetlana Kuznetsova RUS Elena Dementieva 6–3, 7–5 128 32 US Open – Women's singles US Open – Women's singles 2004 US Open (tennis) Svetlana Kuznetsova defeated Elena Dementieva in the final, 6–3, 7–5 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2004 US Open.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/sep/13/tennis.usopentennis20042 Kuznetsova the next of Russia's leading lights The Guardian 11 July 2025 It was her first major title. Kuznetsova was the third Russian woman to win a major, after Anastasia Myskina and Maria Sharapova (who won the French Open and Wimbledon, respectively, earlier in the season). This was also the second-ever all-Russian major final (the first being at the French Open earlier in the season, where Myskina defeated Dementieva). Justine Henin was the defending champion, but was defeated by Nadia Petrova in the fourth round. As a result, Amélie Mauresmo became the new world No. 1 following the tournament. This marked the first US Open main draw appearance for future champion Samantha Stosur, who was defeated by Petrova in the second round. The quarterfinal match between Serena Williams and Jennifer Capriati is often considered the catalyst for the International Tennis Federation (ITF) adoption of Hawk-Eye triangulation technology to review line calls.https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/2004-mariana-alves-missed-call-ushers-in-hawk-eye Mariana Alves’ missed call ushers in Hawk-Eye Tennis.com 30 August 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230830180524/https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/2004-mariana-alves-missed-call-ushers-in-hawk-eye 2023-08-30 live Hawk-Eye was unofficially used for television coverage for the match, with results suggesting that several crucial points awarded to Capriati were incorrectly called. The most significant of these calls was a potential Williams winner at deuce in the first game of the final set that appeared to be well within the left baseline; while the line judge called the ball in, the chair umpire Mariana Alves overruled to award the point to Capriati. Capriati ultimately ended up winning the deuce, the set, and the match. Following outcry from spectators and the press, the United States Tennis Association suspended Alves for the remainder of the tournament and apologized to Williams.Broussard Chris Williams Gets Apology, and Umpire's Open is Over https://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/09/sports/tennis/williams-receives-apology-and-umpires-open-is-over.html 2 May 2021 The New York Times 9 September 2004 The ITF tested the Hawk-Eye system in an official capacity the next year, ultimately approving it for official use.
