Netherlands' domination of women's singles in wheelchair tennis was extended to a seventh successive Games, as Jiske Griffioen became the fifth different Dutch winner of the event, following the retirement of four-time winner Esther Vergeer following one of the longest unbeaten runs in sport. Indeed, the final was an all-Dutch affair, with the silver going to Aniek van Koot. Japanese player Yui Kamiji managed to prevent an all-Dutch podium, winning in the bronze medal playoff against the Netherlands' Diede de Groot.^[1]
