Serena Williams defeated Agnieszka Radwańska 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 titles in the Open Era with her sister Venus ) and her 14th major singles title overall. Radwańska became the first Pole to reach a major singles final in the Open Era.
Petra Kvitová was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Williams.
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 defending 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 en route to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the third straight time. She defeated world No. 1 and top seed Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, having previously beaten Li Na in 2011 and Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2009 . She 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 (with the exception of Kvitová) were in contention for the top ranking.
