It was the 129th edition of the championships, the 48th in the Open Era and the third Grand Slam tournament of the year, played on grass courts and part of the ATP World Tour, the WTA Tour, the ITF Junior Tour and the NEC Tour. They were organised by the All England Lawn Tennis Club and the International Tennis Federation. The tournament was held one week later than in previous seasons, giving a three - week gap from the end of the 2015 French Open. The change, announced in 2012, is intended to provide players more time for recuperation and preparatory grass - court tournaments. Novak Djokovic of Serbia won his third Wimbledon title in men 's singles, defending his championship from 2014. Petra Kvitová of the Czech Republic was the defending champion in women 's singles, but she lost to Jelena Janković in the third round. Serena Williams won her sixth Wimbledon and 21st major title, defeating first - time finalist Garbiñe Muguruza in the final, 6 -- 4, 6 -- 4. She also achieved her second non-calendar year Grand Slam after winning the 2014 US Open, 2015 Australian Open and 2015 French Open. With this win, Williams also became the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam singles title in the Open Era at 33 years and 289 days old by 26 days, beating Martina Navratilova, who won the 1990 Wimbledon Championships at 33 years and 263 days old.

Roger Federer, 7 -- 6, 6 -- 7, 6 -- 4, 6 -- 3 Prior to the finals, the two had faced off 39 times, with Federer having won the most matches 20 - 19. At the time of the finals Djokovic was ranked No. 1 and Federer at No. 2. This encounter was their third meeting in a Grand Slam final, when the last two previous were split between the two at the 2007 US Open and 2014 Wimbledon Championships. Federer got the first break of serve in the match, during the first set, yet Djokovic quickly broke back leveling the match. When Djokovic was serving to remain in the first set, he had to fend off two set points from Federer, which he eventually got the set into a tiebreak, and it was a lopsided tiebreak that sent Djokovic up one set to none. The second set was a closely fought affair, but was decided to Federer 's edge in the tiebreak. The last two sets were rather uneventful in the spectrum of the match because Djokovic got the breaks of serve, allowing him to win his third Wimbledon title, and second in a row. This put Djokovic eighth on the all - time list of Men 's Grand Slam singles champions, and putting him fifth during the Open Era. He now possesses as many Wimbledon singles titles, as his coach Boris Becker won in his career. Ladies ' singles Main article : 2015 Wimbledon Championships -- Women 's Singles Serena Williams def. Garbiñe Muguruza, 6 -- 4, 6 -- 4 This was their first encounter in a Grand Slam final, whilst all of the past meetings, occurred in Grand Slam events, from the first - time playing each other at the 2013 Australian Open, that Serena Williams won the match in two sets, during this second round match.
