No there can never be a single point. But yes there are two such points called foci( each called focus) that helps to define an ellipse. An ellipse can then be defined as a curve which is actually the locus of all points in a plane,the sum of whose distances from two fixed points (the foci) is a given(positive)constant . This is further expressed mathematically to obtain the equation of an ellipse.
