Venus Williams was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Jelena Janković.[4]

With Serena Williams not competing due to a knee injury, this marked the first Wimbledon since 1999 not to feature either of the Williams sisters in the final.[5][6]

Li Na became the first Chinese player (male or female) to reach a major singles quarterfinal.[7] This also marked the major debut of future world No. 2 Agnieszka Radwańska, who reached the fourth round as a wildcard before losing to Kim Clijsters.
