Andy Murray of Great Britain was the defending champion in men's singles, but lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals. Marion Bartoli of France was the reigning champion in women's singles; however, her retirement from the sport following her victory meant that she did not return to defend her title. As a result, the opening Ladies' Singles match on Centre Court on the second day of the tournament – which is traditionally played by the defending champion – was played by Bartoli's opponent, runner-up Sabine Lisicki.
The men and women's singles titles were won by Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Petra Kvitová of the Czech Republic respectively. Both players had previously won their maiden – and, prior to 2014, only – Wimbledon title in 2011.
