Garbiñe Muguruza was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Alison Van Uytvanck.^[3]

Simona Halep, Caroline Wozniacki and Sloane Stephens were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. Despite losing in the third round, Halep retained the No. 1 ranking after Wozniacki and Stephens lost in the second and first rounds, respectively.^[4]

Serena Williams is the second player to be seeded at a major while also being used protected ranking to enter the tournament, following Williams herself in the 2011 US Open.^[5]

With all of the top ten seeds losing before the quarterfinals, it was the worst overall Wimbledon performance of the top ten women's seeds in the Open Era.^[6]^[7] This was also the first time in the Open Era that none of the top four women's singles seeds reached the fourth round at Wimbledon.
