This was the first Wimbledon to feature a final set tie break rule. Upon reaching 12–12 in the third set, a standard tie-break would be played where the winners would be the first to reach at least seven points and lead by two points.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Samantha Stosur were each bidding to complete the career Grand Slam in doubles, but lost in the second and third round, respectively.
