Wimbledon 2016 produced historical milestones and memorable matches. 
Serena Williams and Andy Murray were the biggest winners. 
Williams won her 22nd Grand Slam title to tie Steffi Graf for most Slams in the open era. She also won her 16th Grand Slam doubles title. She's won 14 with sister Venus Williams and two mixed-doubles titles with Max Mirnyi.
Andy Murray won his second Wimbledon title and third Grand Slam. 
Expectations color whether a player leaves the tournament feeling like a winner or loser.
Milos Raonic lost to Murray. But he became the first Canadian man to play in a Grand Slam final. That certainly doesn't sound like a loser. 
Elena Vesnina lost her semifinals match to Serena Williams 6-2, 6-0 in just 48 minutes . However, Vesnina left the tournament feeling good about her game. She will rise 25 spots in the WTA Tour rankings. 
Vesnina and Raonic didn't land on the list of losers. But are they among the biggest winners? 
The following are the biggest winners and losers at Wimbledon 2016.

Court 18 at the All England Club during Wimbledon 2016.
Venus Williams has five Wimbledon singles titles. She's an icon and future Hall of Famer. Yet she didn't get to play on Centre Court until her semifinals match. Worse, Wimbledon officials assigned the No. 7 seeded Williams to Court 18, which holds just 800 people. 
Williams openly conveyed her disappointment over the court assignments for women at the tournament and  questioned why top men's players weren't relegated to the outer courts as often as female players. Petra Kvitova, a two-time Slam champion, had a match moved from Court 1 to Court 18. 
Federer played all of his matches on show courts.
