Angelique Kerber was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Lauren Davis. This was the first time in the Open Era that a defending Major champion lost to a lucky loser.[3]

This was the first Major in which Ashleigh Barty competed as the world No. 1. She retained the top ranking following the tournament despite being losing to Alison Riske in the fourth round. Naomi Osaka, Karolína Plíšková, Kiki Bertens and Petra Kvitová were also in contention for the top ranking.[4]

15-year old Coco Gauff became the youngest player to win a main draw singles match at Wimbledon since Jennifer Capriati in 1991, defeating the oldest player in the main draw, Venus Williams at 39, in the first round. Gauff was also the youngest qualifier in Wimbledon history.[5] She was defeated by Halep in the fourth round.

Karolína Muchová became the first player to reach the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in their debut since Li Na in 2006, after defeating Plíšková in the fourth round.

This was the first Wimbledon where a final set tie break rule was introduced. Upon reaching 12–12 in the third set, a classic tie break would be played. No women's singles match required the use of the final set tie break.
