The **2016 Wimbledon Championships** was a [Grand Slam](/source/Grand_Slam_(tennis)) [tennis](/source/Tennis) tournament which took place at [All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club](/source/All_England_Lawn_Tennis_and_Croquet_Club) in [Wimbledon, London](/source/Wimbledon%2C_London), United Kingdom. The main draw commenced on 27 June 2016 and concluded on 10 July 2016.

2016 was the 130th edition of [Wimbledon](/source/Wimbledon_Championships), the 49th in the [Open Era](/source/Open_Era_(tennis)) and the third [Grand Slam](/source/Grand_Slam_(tennis)) tournament of the year. It was played on [grass courts](/source/Grass_court) and was part of the [ATP World Tour](/source/2016_ATP_World_Tour), the [WTA Tour](/source/2016_WTA_Tour), the ITF Junior tour and the NEC Tour. The tournament was organised by [All England Lawn Tennis Club](/source/All_England_Lawn_Tennis_Club) and [International Tennis Federation](/source/International_Tennis_Federation).

For the first time in the Championships' history, singles events were held in the wheelchair competitions.[2] Thus, all four [majors](/source/Grand_Slam_(tennis)#Tournaments) now hold wheelchair singles events, making a complete [Grand Slam](/source/Grand_Slam_(tennis)) in the discipline possible.

[Novak Djokovic](/source/Novak_Djokovic) was the two-time defending champion in the gentlemen's singles, but lost in the third round to [Sam Querrey](/source/Sam_Querrey), ending a 30-match winning streak at the majors and Djokovic's hopes of becoming the first man to achieve the [Golden Slam](/source/Grand_Slam_(tennis)#Golden_Slam). The gentlemen's singles title was won by [Andy Murray](/source/Andy_Murray). [Serena Williams](/source/Serena_Williams) successfully defended her ladies' singles title and equaled [Steffi Graf](/source/Steffi_Graf)'s [Open Era](/source/Open_Era) record of 22 major singles titles.

The gentlemen's doubles event consisted of 'best of three sets' matches for rounds 1 and 2 in order to help with 'catch-up' scheduling due to a rain-stricken first week. It was also the first time since [2004](/source/2004_Wimbledon_Championships) that play took place on Middle Sunday, also known as the People's Sunday, because no tickets are sold in advance or through the ballot and all seats are made available on general sale the day before.
