Angelique Kerber won her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, thus becoming the first German to win a Grand Slam title since Steffi Graf at the 1999 French Open defeating World No. 1 Serena Williams in the final. Kerber would go on to win the 2016 US Open, defeating Karolína Plíšková in the final, thus would attain her World No. 1 ranking. Garbiñe Muguruza won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open, thus becoming the first Spaniard to win a Grand Slam title since Arantxa Sánchez Vicario at the 1998 French Open by defeating Williams in the final. Williams herself would go on to reach the season's third Grand Slam finals and defeat Kerber in the final at Wimbledon to claim her 22nd Grand Slam title, equaling Steffi Graf's record for most Grand Slam titles in the Open Era.
