Bartoli reached her first Grand Slam final after a semifinal victory over world No. 1 Justine Henin that was described as one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history.[5] Though she lost the final, she would eventually win the Wimbledon title six years later in her final Grand Slam tournament.

This was also the first Wimbledon main draw appearance for the 2018 champion and future World No. 1 Angelique Kerber. She was beaten by Anna Chakvetadze in the first round.
