1999 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles


defeated Steffi Graf in the final, 6–4, 7–5 to win the Ladies' Singles tennis title at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships. This was the final Grand Slam tournament in which Graf appeared. Davenport did not drop a set throughout the entire tournament. Jana Novotná was the defending champion but lost in the quarterfinals to Davenport.
This tournament saw a number of surprises, including world No. 129 Australian qualifier Jelena Dokic's first-round defeat of world No. 1 and top seed Martina Hingis; before this event, Hingis had reached the semifinals of every Grand Slam event since the 1996 US Open, 11 consecutive majors. This tournament also saw the first time that a qualifier entered the semifinals of a Grand Slam in the Open Era, with Alexandra Stevenson defeating Dokic in the quarterfinals. This tournament also marked the Grand Slam debut of eventual No. 1 Kim Clijsters, who lost to Graf in the fourth round.
Mirjana Lučić, who reached the semifinals, did not reach another Grand Slam semifinal until the 2017 Australian Open.
