Markéta Vondroušová defeated Ons Jabeur in the final, 6–4, 6–4 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.[1] [2] It was her first major singles title and her first title overall in six years. Vondroušová became the first unseeded female player to win the Wimbledon title, the first to contest the final since Billie Jean King did so in 1963,[3] and at world No. 42 was the lowest-ranked champion and second-lowest-ranked finalist since the WTA rankings were established in 1975.[4] By winning the title, Vondroušová made her debut in the top ten of the WTA rankings.
Elena Rybakina was the defending champion,[5] but lost in the quarterfinals to Jabeur in a rematch of the previous year's final.[6] Her loss guaranteed a first-time Wimbledon champion.[7]
Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka were in contention for the women's singles No. 1 ranking at the start of the tournament. Świątek retained the No. 1 ranking after Sabalenka lost in the semifinals.[8]
Elina Svitolina was the first wildcard to reach the Wimbledon semifinals since Sabine Lisicki in 2011.[9] The match between Vondroušová and Svitolina was the first semifinal at Wimbledon to feature two unseeded players in the Open Era.[10] For the first Wimbledon since 2009 and the first major overall since the 2013 French Open, the top four seeds (Świątek, Sabalenka, Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula) progressed to the quarterfinals.[11] The third-round match between Lesia Tsurenko and Ana Bogdan was completed via a deciding set tiebreak that totaled 38 points, this set the record for the longest women's singles tiebreak in Grand Slam history.[12] (This record was broken at the following year's Australian Open when Anna Blinkova defeated Rybakina in a 42 point long tiebreak.[13])
This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit.[14] She lost in the second round to Marie Bouzková.[15]

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on WTA rankings as of 26 June 2023. Rankings and points before are as of 3 July 2023.
No ranking points were awarded for the 2022 tournament due to the ban on Russian and Belarusian players.[16] However, because the tournament takes place one week later this year, players are defending points from tournaments that took place during the week of 11 July 2022 (Lausanne and Budapest). Players who are not defending any points from those tournaments will have their 16th best result (shown in brackets in the table below) replaced with their points from the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.
