Serena Williams started off her 2015 campaign by representing the U.S. in the 2015 Hopman Cup partnering John Isner. She would have lost to team Poland in the finals.

Without preparation in other WTA Tournaments, Williams entered the Australian Open as the heavy favourite. She comfortably defeated Belgian youngster Alison Van Uytvanck and Vera Zvonareva in the first two rounds, before challenged by 26th seed Elina Svitolina and 24th seed Garbiñe Muguruza in the next two rounds. She en-route defeated defending finalist Dominika Cibulková, Madison Keys and Maria Sharapova to win her 19th major title.

Doubles

Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza won Wimbledon in 2015.

On 11 July, Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza became the first doubles players to qualify for the Championships.

Hingis started the season with Sabine Lisicki at Brisbane International, and then continued her partnership with Flavia Pennetta, until a series of disappointing results let her switch with Indian Sania Mirza, who previously played with Hsieh Su-wei and missed the "chemistry" to one another. Right at their debut matches in Indian Wells, Miami and Charleston, the duo claimed three titles in a row. As a result, Mirza overtrumped Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci from the top ranking, and Hingis became the No. 4. The duo then won their season's first Grand Slam at Wimbledon; for Mirza it was the first Grand Slam title, for Hingis the third Wimbledon and first Grand Slam title since 2002. For Hingis, it will be the sixth participation at the Championships, for Mirza, the second. Hingis won the Finals twice, while Mirza is the defending champion.
