Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Janković, Maria Sharapova and Svetlana Kuznetsova were in contention for the WTA No. 1 ranking. Ivanovic retained the top ranking despite losing in the third round to Zheng Jie. Janković, Sharapova and Kuznetsova also lost in the first four rounds, marked the first time in Wimbledon history that none of the top four women's seeds advanced to the quarterfinals.[3]

Zheng went on to reach the semifinals, becoming the first Chinese player to do so at a singles major, and becoming the first wild card to reach the semifinals.[4] Zheng's win against Ivanovic in the third round also made her the lowest-ranked player (ranked as the world No. 133) to defeat a reigning world No. 1.[citation needed] This record would be broken only two months later by Julie Coin at the 2008 US Open, who also defeated Ivanovic.[citation needed]
