2016 was the 130th edition of Wimbledon, the 49th in the Open Era and the third Grand Slam tournament of the year. It was played on grass courts and was part of the ATP World Tour, the WTA Tour, the ITF Junior tour and the NEC Tour. The tournament was organised by All England Lawn Tennis Club and International Tennis Federation.
For the first time in the Championships' history, singles events were held in the wheelchair competitions.[2] Thus, all four majors now hold wheelchair singles events, making a complete Grand Slam in the discipline possible.
Novak Djokovic was the two-time defending champion in the gentlemen's singles, but lost in the third round to 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. The gentlemen's singles title was won by Andy Murray. Serena Williams successfully defended her ladies' singles title and equaled Steffi Graf's 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 that play took place on Middle Sunday, also known as the People's Sunday, due to the fact that no tickets are sold in advance or through the ballot and all seats are made available on general sale the day before.

The tournament consisted of men's (singles and doubles), women's (singles and doubles), mixed doubles, boys (under 18 – singles and doubles) and girls (under 18 – singles and doubles), which is also a part of the Grade A category of tournaments for under 18, doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players as part of the UNIQLO Tour under the Grand Slam category and, for the first time in the tournament history this year, men's and women's singles events for wheelchair tennis players. The tournament was played only on grass courts; main draw matches were played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon; qualifying matches were played at the Bank of England Sports Ground, Roehampton.
