The 2024 Championships was the 137th edition, the 130th staging of the Ladies' Singles Championship event, the 56th in the Open Era and the third Grand Slam tournament of the year. The tournament was run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was included in the 2024 ATP Tour and the 2024 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category, as well as the 2024 ITF tours for junior and wheelchair competitions respectively.
The tournament consisted of men's (singles and doubles), women's (singles and doubles), mixed doubles, boys' (under 18 – singles and doubles, under 14 – singles), girls' (under 18 – singles and doubles, under 14 – singles), which was a part of the Grade A category of tournaments for under 18, and singles and doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players. This edition also featured gentlemen's and ladies' invitational doubles competitions and the new mixed invitational doubles draw introduced in 2022.
This was the tournament's third edition with a scheduled order of play on the first Sunday during the event, dubbed "Middle Sunday". Prior to the 2022 edition, the tournament had seen only four exceptions to the tradition of withholding competition on Middle Sunday to accommodate delayed matches during championships that were heavily disrupted by rain.
This was the first time since 1996 that neither of the Williams sisters appeared in this tournament.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic, 6–2, 6–2, 7–6(7–4)
The Gentlemen's singles event began on 1 July with the first of seven total rounds. Thirty-two players were seeded. Of those seeded players, eight were defeated in the first round, notably No. 6 Andrey Rublev, No. 17 Félix Auger-Aliassime, and No. 18 Sebastián Báez. Hubert Hurkacz, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas were the highest of the eight seeded players to exit in the second round, and a further three seeded players were defeated in the third round, with them being No. 22 Alexander Bublik, No. 23 Alejandro Tabilo, and No. 29 Frances Tiafoe. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard became the first lucky loser to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon since Dick Norman in 1995. Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov, Ben Shelton were the highest of the five seeded players who were defeated in the Round of 16.
In the quarterfinals, Fifth seed Daniil Medvedev defeated Number 1 seed Jannik Sinner in five sets to snap his five match losing streak against Sinner. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz won his match against No. 12 Tommy Paul in four sets after losing the opening set. Alex de Minaur withdrew from his quarterfinals match due to a hip injury. As a result of this, Novak Djokovic received a walkover into the semifinals. 25th seed Lorenzo Musetti reached his first ever career major semifinals after winning against 13th seed Taylor Fritz. Their match marked the 37th five-set match at the tournament, the most at any edition of a major in the Open Era. The first semifinal was played between fifth seed Medvedev and third seed Alcaraz. Medvedev won the first set in a tie-breaker, but the Spaniard fought back and won the match in four sets and reached his second consecutive Wimbledon final. In the second semifinal, Djokovic defeated Musetti in straight sets to guarantee a rematch of the previous year's final.
In the final match, Alcaraz broke Djokovic's serve twice (in the very first game of the match and in the 5th game) to take the set, 6–2 in his favour. The Third seed again broke Second seed's serve in the 1st and 7th game of the second set to win this too with the score line of 6–2. Djokovic made some recovery and continued to hold his serve until the 9th game of the third set when the Spaniard broke his serve and had the opportunity to serve for the match. In the 10th game, Alcaraz at one point had three championship points, however Djokovic saved all of them and ending up breaking the third seed's serve for the first time in the match. Both the players held their next service games and forced the set to go to a tie-break. In the end, Carlos Alcaraz won the tie-breaker, 7–4 and won the set, match and the championship. It was his second Wimbledon title and fourth major title overall. He also became the sixth (and youngest) man in the Open Era to complete the Channel Slam.
