Defending champion Steffi Graf defeated Natasha Zvereva in the final, 6–0, 6–0 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1988 French Open.^[1] It was her second French Open title and third major title overall. Graf did not lose a set during the tournament, dropping only 20 games. The final was the shortest major final of the Open Era; the official duration of the match was 34 minutes, with only 32 minutes of play due to a rain break.^[2][3][4][5] It was the second "double bagel" major final in history, after the 1911 Wimbledon Championships.^[6]

The win marked Graf's second step towards completing the first, and so far only Golden Slam in the history of women's singles tennis. Graf recorded a total of six "bagel" (6–0) sets across her seven matches. The final was the first major final since the 1981 French Open not to feature either Martina Navratilova or Chris Evert.
