Main article: 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships

Jasmine Paolini defeated Anna Kalinskaya in the final, 4–6, 7–5, 7–5 to win the women's singles title at the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships.[1][2] It was her first WTA 1000 title and second WTA Tour singles title overall. Paolini avenged her loss to Kalinskaya at the Australian Open, where both players had progressed to the second week of a major for the first time. Kalinskaya was the second qualifier to contest a WTA 1000 final, following Caroline Garcia at the 2022 Cincinnati Open.

Barbora Krejčíková was the reigning champion,[3] but withdrew before the tournament began.

Celine Simunyu received a wildcard for the qualifying event, becoming the first Irish player to be awarded a wildcard at a WTA Tour event.[4]

Iga Świątek retained the world No. 1 ranking after Aryna Sabalenka lost in the second round.[5]
