In the 2006 Wimbledon Championships – Women’s Singles tournament, Venus Williams was the defending champion, but she lost in the third round against Jelena Jankovic. Amelie Mauresmo of France won her first (and only) Wimbledon title, defeating Justine Henin-Hardenne in the final, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. It was her second and last Grand Slam title, having won the Australian Open earlier in the year; on that occasion, Henin-Hardenne retired due to a stomach bug. It was the first Wimbledon final since 1999 not to feature either of the Williams sisters.

By winning her seventh Wimbledon title, Williams equaled Steffi Graf's Open Era record of 22 major singles titles. Andy Murray won his third major and second Wimbledon title defeating Milos Raonic in the final. Raonic became the first Canadian male tennis player to reach a Grand Slam final.
