Ninth seed Linda Noskova beat Karolina Muchova 6-2 5-7 6-3 in the final on 11 July, so the title stayed inside the top ten (Wimbledon, 11 Jul 2026).
The market resolves on the official Wimbledon results and the 2026 seeds list at wimbledon.com, published at the end of the women's final on 11 July. It resolves YES if the champion is listed as unseeded or seeded 11 or lower; a rain delay pushes resolution to the day the final is completed. If that source has not published in time, BBC Sport and Sky Sports settle it.
No former champion has won the women's title since 2016. In recent years it has often gone to a player the seedings did not rate near the top. Below are the last four champions and where each was seeded, with the same question the first market asks: was the winner seeded outside the top ten? Reports from ESPN, the WTA and the official Wimbledon records.
