Serena Williams defeated Agnieszka Radwa?ska in the final, 6?1, 5?7, 6?2 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. ^[1] It was her fifth Wimbledon singles title (tying her for the third-most Wimbledon singles titles in the Open Era with her sister Venus ) and her 14th major singles title overall. Radwa?ska became the first Pole to reach a major singles final since Jadwiga J?drzejowska in 1939 , and the first in the Open Era.

Petra Kvitova was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Williams. With the loss of Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, a first time finalist was guaranteed at the top half of the draw.

Yaroslava Shvedova became the first player in the Open Era to win a ' golden set ' at Wimbledon, winning the first set of her 6?0, 6?4 victory over the reigning French Open runner-up and 10th seed Sara Errani in the third round without dropping a single point. ^[2]

Sabine Lisicki defeated the reigning French Open champion (world No. 1 Sharapova) en route to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the third straight time. She previously defeated Li Na in 2011 and Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2009 , and missed the 2010 Championships due to injury.

Victoria Azarenka regained the world No. 1 ranking by reaching the quarterfinals after Sharapova failed to reach the final. Four of the top five seeds were in contention for the top ranking.
