2005 AIG Japan Open Tennis Championships – Women's singles
Maria Sharapova was the two-time defending champion, but decided not to participate that year. Second-seeded Nicole Vaidišová was leading 7–6(7–4), 3–2 in the final against third-seeded Tatiana Golovin, when Golovin retired due to an achilles tendon injury, giving Vaidišová the title. This remains one of the youngest finals in WTA history. Seeds
