The 2018 Wimbledon Championships was the 132nd edition of the tournament and was held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Novak Djokovic won the men's singles title, his fourth at Wimbledon, while Angelique Kerber won the women's singles title, her first at Wimbledon and third Grand Slam overall. The tournament was marked by marathon matches, including the longest Wimbledon semifinal ever between Kevin Anderson and John Isner.
The 2018 Wimbledon Championships commenced on July 2, 2018, at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Roger Federer and Garbiñe Muguruza were the defending champions in the gentlemen's and ladies' singles, respectively.
Kevin Anderson came back from two sets down to defeat eight-time champion Roger Federer in the quarterfinals, winning 2-6, 6-7, 7-5, 6-4, 13-11. Federer held a match point in the third set but failed to convert, marking his first loss at Wimbledon since 2016.
Kevin Anderson defeated John Isner in a marathon semifinal lasting 6 hours and 36 minutes, winning 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 26-24. This became the longest Wimbledon semifinal in history and the second-longest match in Wimbledon history, behind only the 2010 Isner-Mahut match.
The second men's semifinal between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal was suspended at 11-11 in the fifth set due to the tournament's 11:00 PM curfew. The match had already been delayed earlier in the day due to the length of the Anderson-Isner semifinal.
Angelique Kerber defeated Serena Williams 6-3, 6-3 in the ladies' singles final to win her first Wimbledon title and third Grand Slam overall. Williams was attempting to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles but was outplayed by Kerber.
Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 10-8 in a match that spanned two days. The match lasted over 5 hours of play time and was widely regarded as one of the greatest Wimbledon matches ever played.
The 2018 Wimbledon Championships concluded on July 15, 2018. The tournament featured dramatic upsets, record-setting marathon matches, and the return of Novak Djokovic to Grand Slam glory after a two-year drought at the majors. Total attendance for the tournament exceeded 470,000 spectators.
Novak Djokovic defeated Kevin Anderson 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 in the men's singles final to claim his fourth Wimbledon title and 13th Grand Slam overall. Anderson, appearing in his first Wimbledon final, was visibly fatigued from his two marathon five-set matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals.
