# 1989 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles

Defending champion Steffi Graf defeated Martina Navratilova in a rematch of the previous two years' finals, 6–2, 6–7$^{(1–7)}$, 6–1 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 1989 Wimbledon Championships. It was her second Wimbledon title and seventh major title overall. This marked the third of three years that Graf and Navratilova contested the Wimbledon final.
In her final Wimbledon appearance, three-time champion Chris Evert reached her 52nd major semifinal, an Open Era record. She reached the semifinals at the majors all but four times during her career, failing only once at Wimbledon (in 1983).
