Lindsay Davenport defeated Steffi Graf in the final, 6–4, 7–5 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was her second major singles title. Davenport did not lose a set during the tournament. This marked the last major appearance of 22-time major singles champion, Olympic gold medalist, and former world No. 1 Graf; she was also attempting to complete the Channel Slam.

Jana Novotná was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Davenport.

This tournament saw a number of surprises, including world No. 129 and qualifier Jelena Dokic's first-round defeat of world No. 1 Martina Hingis, ending Hingis' streak of 11 major semifinals (dating to the 1996 US Open). This tournament also saw Alexandra Stevenson become the second qualifier in the Open Era (after Christine Matison in the 1978 Australian Open) to reach a major semifinal.[2]

This marked the major singles debut of future world No. 1 and four-time major singles champion Kim Clijsters; she lost to Graf in the fourth round.
