Updated: 12/11/2025, 2:23:31 PM Wikipedia source
Barbora Krejčíková defeated Jasmine Paolini in the final, 6–2, 2–6, 6–4 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. It was her first Wimbledon singles title and second major singles title overall. Markéta Vondroušová was the defending champion, but lost in the first round to Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro. This marked only the second time in the Open Era that the defending Wimbledon champion lost in the first round, after Steffi Graf lost to Lori McNeil 30 years ago, in 1994. Paolini was the first Italian woman in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon semifinals and final. She became the first woman to reach back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon finals since Serena Williams in 2016, and the first Italian woman in the Open Era to reach the final of two different majors. The semifinal match between Paolini and Donna Vekić was the longest women's semifinal in Wimbledon history, at two hours and 51 minutes. This marked the final major appearance of 2018 champion, three-time major champion and former world No. 1 Angelique Kerber. She lost in the first round to Yulia Putintseva.
