Angelique Kerber won her third Grand Slam singles title, defeating Serena Williams, 6-3, 6-3 to win the Ladies' Singles tennis title at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. Kerber became the first German since Steffi Graf in 1996 to lift the trophy.^[1][2] Kerber dropped just one set the entire tournament, to Claire Liu in the second round.

Garbiñe Muguruza was the defending champion, but was defeated in the second round by Alison Van Uytvanck. Muguruza's defeat marked the earliest exit of the defending champion at Wimbledon since Steffi Graf's first round defeat in 1994.^[3]

Simona Halep, Caroline Wozniacki and Sloane Stephens were in contention for the WTA No. 1 singles ranking at the start of the tournament. Despite losing in the third round, Halep retained the No. 1 ranking after Wozniacki and Stephens lost in the second and first rounds, respectively.^[4]

Serena Williams was attempting to equal Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, as she was aiming to become the first mother to win a Grand Slam singles title since Kim Clijsters won the 2011 Australian Open.

With all top ten seeds losing before the quarterfinals, it was the worst overall Wimbledon performance of the top ten women's seeds in the Open Era.^[5][6] This was also the first time in the Open Era that none of the top four women's singles seeds reached the fourth round at Wimbledon.
