Steffi Graf was the three-time defending champion but lost in the first round to Lori McNeil, ending her streak of thirty-one consecutive quarter-final appearances dating back to the 1985 US Open. This also marked the first time in the Open Era that a Grand Slam defending champion had lost in the first round.^[1] The defending Grand Slam champion would not lose in the first round until the 2003 Australian Open.

Conchita Martínez defeated Martina Navratilova in the final, 6–4, 3–6, 6–3 to win the title.^[2] It was Martínez's only Grand Slam title, and Navratilova's last appearance in a Grand Slam singles final. Navratilova became the oldest player to reach a Grand Slam singles final, at 37 years, 8 months and 14 days old. It was also Navratilova's 12th appearance in the Wimbledon singles final, an Open Era record.
