SW19, Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom

The 2012 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament played on grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London in the United Kingdom. It was the 126th edition of the Wimbledon Championships and was held from 25 June to 8 July 2012. It was the third Grand Slam tennis event of the year and was part of the ATP World Tour, the WTA Tour, the ITF Junior Tour and the NEC Tour. The championships were organised by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and the International Tennis Federation.

Novak Djokovic and Petra Kvitová were unsuccessful in their 2011 title defences, both defeated by the eventual champions, he by Roger Federer in the semifinals and she by Serena Williams in the quarterfinals. In four sets, Federer defeated Andy Murray in the final to win a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon title, while Murray became the first British male player to reach a Wimbledon singles final in the Open era. Serena Williams defeated first-time Wimbledon finalist Agnieszka Radwańska in three sets to equal her sister Venus in winning five Wimbledon titles. Federer and Williams were each more than 30 years old at the time of their victories.

With his win, Federer reclaimed the World No. 1 ranking for the first time since June 2010, thus allowing him to equal, then to break, the all-time record of most weeks ranked at World No. 1 held by Pete Sampras. Agnieszka Radwańska, Victoria Azarenka, and Maria Sharapova were in contention for the world number 1 ranking. Since Sharapova lost in the fourth round and Radwańska was a match away from becoming the world number 1 but lost it, Azarenka continued her success as the number 1.

After the Championships, Wimbledon held the 2012 Olympic tennis tournament three weeks later.

Events

  • On 28 June, World No. 100 Lukáš Rosol upset World No. 2 and two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal in five sets.
  • On 30 June:
    • Marin Čilić beat Sam Querrey, 7–6(8–6), 6–4, 6–7(2–7), 6–7(3–7), 17–15. At 5 hours and 31 minutes, it was then the second longest match in Wimbledon history. This would later be surpassed by the 2018 semifinal match between Kevin Anderson and John Isner.
    • Yaroslava Shvedova became the first player in a Grand Slam tournament to win a golden set, beating 2012 French Open finalist Sara Errani, 6–0, 6–4.
    • Andy Murray and Marcos Baghdatis finished play at 23:02, the latest-ever finish to a match at Wimbledon.
  • On 5 July, Agnieszka Radwańska became the first Pole, male or female, to reach a Grand Slam singles final in the Open era.
  • On 6 July, Murray became the first British man in 74 years to reach the singles final, defeating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinal.
  • On 7 July:
    • Serena Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title, tying her sister Venus in doing so.
    • Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen became the first wild card to win the gentlemen's doubles title, beating both of the previous year's finalists along the way. Marray also became the first British player to win the men's doubles title in the Open era.
  • On 8 July, Roger Federer achieved a record-tying seventh singles title at Wimbledon, tied with Pete Sampras (Open Era) and William Renshaw (Amateur Era).
