Event
tennis tournament held in 2007
Venus Williams defeated Marion Bartoli in the final, 6–4, 6–1 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2007 Wimbledon Championships. It was her fourth Wimbledon singles title and sixth major singles title overall. Williams, ranked 31st at the time and seeded 23rd, was the lowest-ranked and lowest-seeded woman ever to win Wimbledon. Williams became the first women's champion to earn the same amount of prize money as the men's champion, following the tournament's decision to award equal pay for the first time that year: a cause championed by Williams herself.
