The reigning French Open champion Francesca Schiavone and runner-up Samantha Stosur both lost in the first round, marking the first time that the two French Open finalists lost in the opening round of Wimbledon.[3]

The losses of Kim Clijsters and Venus Williams in the quarterfinals guaranteed a first time finalist from the bottom half of the draw. Petra Kvitová (ranked 62nd) and Tsvetana Pironkova (ranked 82nd), became the first time two unseeded players reached the semifinals since 1999. Pironkova became the first Bulgarian woman to reach the major semifinals for the first time in history.[a][4] Additionally, Kaia Kanepi (ranked 80th) became the first qualifier to reach the quarterfinals since Séverine Beltrame in 2006.[citation needed]
