==History==
Wimbledon has historically been played in the last week of June and the first week of July (though changed to the first two weeks of July in 2017), and has been chronologically the third of the four [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournaments of the tennis [[Season (sports)|season]] since 1987.<ref name=WProfile/> The event was not held from 1915 to 1918 because of [[World War I]] and again from 1940 to 1945 because of [[World War II]].<ref name=2009aetlcFinals>{{cite web|work=wimbledon.org |publisher=[[All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club]] |title=Ladies' Singles |url=http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/draws_archive/champions/ladiessingles.html |access-date=2019-03-02 }}</ref> The tournament was also not contested in 2020 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="WimbledonCovid">{{cite news|last=Fuller|first=Russell|date=1 April 2020|title=Wimbledon cancelled due to coronavirus – where does that leave tennis in 2020?|publisher=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/52104196|access-date=1 April 2020}}</ref>
 
The ladies' singles' rules have undergone several changes since the first edition. From [[1886 Wimbledon Championships|1886]] until [[1921 Wimbledon Championships|1921]], the event started with a [[Single-elimination tournament|knockout]] phase, the all comers' singles, whose winner then faced the defending champion in a [[Glossary of tennis#Challenge Round|challenge round]]. The all comers' winner was automatically awarded the title eleven times ([[1889 Wimbledon Championships|1889]], [[1890 Wimbledon Championships|1890]], [[1891 Wimbledon Championships|1891]], [[1894 Wimbledon Championships|1894]], [[1895 Wimbledon Championships|1895]], [[1898 Wimbledon Championships|1898]], [[1903 Wimbledon Championships|1903]], [[1908 Wimbledon Championships|1908]], [[1909 Wimbledon Championships|1909]], [[1912 Wimbledon Championships|1912]], [[1913 Wimbledon Championships|1913]]) in the absence of the previous year's champion.

The ladies' singles champion receives a sterling silver salver commonly known as the "[[Venus Rosewater Dish]]", or simply the "Rosewater Dish".

In the Amateur–challenge round era, [[Dorothea Lambert Chambers]] (1903–1904, 1906, 1910–1911, 1913–1914) holds the record for most titles, with seven. However, it's noteworthy that three of Chambers' titles were won in the challenge round. [[Lottie Dod]] (1891–1893) and [[Suzanne Lenglen]] (1919–1921) hold the record for most consecutive wins in the ladies' singles with three victories each. The record for most wins and most consecutive wins post-challenge round in the Amateur Era, belongs to [[Helen Wills Moody]] (1927–1930, 1932–1933, 1935, 1938) with eight, including four straight victories (1927–1930).<ref name=2009aetlcFinals/>
 
In the Open Era, since the inclusion of the professional tennis players, [[Martina Navratilova]] (1978–1979, 1982–1987, 1990) holds the record for most victories with nine. Navratilova holds the record for most consecutive victories with six (1982–1987).<ref name=2009aetlcFinals/>
