Venus Williams defeated Marion Bartoli in the final, 6–4, 6–1 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2007 Wimbledon Championships.[1] Williams, ranked 31st at the time and seeded 23rd, became the lowest ranked and lowest seeded woman ever to win Wimbledon, a record which lasted for 16 years, when the unseeded Markéta Vondroušová set a new record by winning the 2023 Wimbledon Championships ranked 42nd in the world.[2][3] This was Williams' fourth Wimbledon singles title and sixth major title overall, and she also became the first female champion to earn the same amount of prize money as the male champion, following the tournament's decision to award equal pay for the first time that year.[4]

Amélie Mauresmo was the defending champion, but lost to Nicole Vaidišová in the fourth round.[5]

Bartoli reached her first major final after a semifinal victory over world No. 1 Justine Henin that was described as one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history.[6]

This was also the first Wimbledon main draw appearance for the 2018 champion and future world No. 1 Angelique Kerber, who lost to Anna Chakvetadze in the first round.
