Danielle Collins defeated Elena Rybakina in the final, 7–5, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2024 Miami Open. It was her first WTA 1000 title, and her third WTA Tour title overall.

Ranked as the world No. 53, Collins became the lowest-ranked women's singles champion, the second lowest-ranked finalist in the tournament's history (after Naomi Osaka in 2022), and the oldest first-time WTA 1000 champion since Elena Vesnina at the 2017 Indian Wells Open. Collins lost only one set en route to the title, in the first round against Bernarda Pera. Rybakina lost 69 games en route to the final, the most on record.[1]
