The women's singles (outdoor) was one of six lawn tennis events on the Tennis at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme. Five players, all from the United Kingdom, appeared for the competition.
The number of withdrawals resulted in empty brackets, with one player making it to the final without playing a single match while another had to win two to advance to that point.
Bracket
Boothby took the silver medal, and Winch the bronze, without either winning a single set. Chambers played three matches, winning all six sets. Morton was the only other player to win a match, defeating Greene in the first round before losing to Chambers in the quarterfinals.
