1996 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles

Defending champion Steffi Graf defeated Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–3, 7–5 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 1996 Wimbledon Championships. It was her seventh Wimbledon singles title and 20th major singles title overall.[1] It was also the second consecutive major final between the two women, with Graf winning the French Open crown over Sánchez Vicario a month earlier.
