A roofless Centre Court in the early stages of redevelopment.

The 2007 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament played on grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London in England.^[1][2] It was the 121st edition of the Wimbledon Championships and were held from 25 June to 8 July 2007. It was the third Grand Slam tennis event of the year.

Reconstruction work on Centre Court was in progress and thus it had no roof. The Wimbledon Championships adopted Hawk-Eye technology for the first time on Centre Court and Court 1. The Cyclops system was still used on other courts.^[3]

The Gentlemen's final was won by Roger Federer for the fifth consecutive time, a feat only before achieved in the Open Era by Björn Borg. It was the third longest men's singles final of all time at 3 hours and 45 minutes. Venus Williams claimed the Ladies' title by defeating Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli, a surprise finalist who had defeated world number one at the time Justine Henin. For the first time in twenty years, the Championships saw a home player win a senior title as Jamie Murray won the mixed doubles with Serbian partner Jelena Janković.

Rain however prevented most play. 2 Amélie Mauresmo and Maria Sharapova won their matches, as well as Rafael Nadal, and Tim Henman, who fought very hard and won. 3 Not many matches were completed but among the winners on Day 3 were Andy Roddick, Justine Henin, Fernando González, Jelena Janković, Ana Ivanovic, Richard Gasquet and Martina Hingis. Doubles were scheduled to start on Day 3 but rain stopped most play. This also postponed Tim Henman's match versus Feliciano López. The only doubles match completed was the match in the Gentlemen's Doubles tournament when the 13 seeds Jaroslav Levinský and David Škoch from the Czech Republic won out on Court 15. 4 Katie O'Brien and Tim Henman were knocked out by Michaëlla Krajicek and Feliciano López respectively. All the high seeds won today, winners include Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Venus Williams, Lleyton Hewitt, Nikolay Davydenko, Daniela Hantuchová, James Blake, Novak Djokovic, Amélie Mauresmo and Marcos Baghdatis. For Britain, Jamie Murray and his American partner Eric Butorac won through their first round match of Gentlemen's Doubles. One surprise on Day 4 was that Juan Ignacio Chela was knocked out by Frenchman Édouard Roger-Vasselin. 5 Juan Carlos Ferrero beat James Blake. A shock upset by Janko Tipsarević sent seeded Fernando González out of the tournament in five sets. Andy Roddick, Serena Williams and Roger Federer easily won their matches as well. There was also doubles play. 6 Only three matches were completed. Amélie Mauresmo and Maria Sharapova advanced to Fourth Round, James Auckland with Claire Curran won their match in First Round of Mixed doubles. MS Middle Sunday 7 After a Middle Sunday that was dominated by clear skies, the rain caused disruptions again as play resumed, sporadically. Tommy Haas withdrew from the tournament, leaving Roger Federer with a bye to the Quarter Finals. French Open finalists Justine Henin and Ana Ivanovic both progressed. The Williams sisters also came through, with Serena battling through cramp to win a three-set thriller. 8 Despite almost unceasing rain, Nicole Vaidišová upset Amélie Mauresmo (the defending champion) 7–6, 4–6, 6–1 to create a quarterfinal with Ana Ivanovic. The match between Rafael Nadal and Robin Söderling failed to reach a conclusion, as play was delayed by rain and forced into a fourth day. 9 The highly anticipated match between Serena Williams and Justine Henin was fought out, with Henin victorious in three sets. Venus Williams brushed aside the number 2 seed Maria Sharapova; and Marion Bartoli, a surprise package, also progressed to the semifinals. Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic won their third round matches, which had both been forced into five days of play. Andy Roddick and Richard Gasquet also reached the fourth round. 10 Rain prevented play in the afternoon and evening. Rafael Nadal came back from 2–0 to win against Mikhail Youzhny; setting up a clash with Tomáš Berdych. The "previous" that he and Nadal have refers to a match at the Madrid Masters, where Berdych defeated Nadal and began hushing the crowd. Marcos Baghdatis and Novak Djokovic also set up a quarterfinal tie. Roger Federer returned to court against Juan Carlos Ferrero, but did not have enough time to complete a set. Venus Williams sent another top-seeded Russian packing, Svetlana Kuznetsova; she will meet Ana Ivanovic in the semifinal, who won an epic match against Nicole Vaidišová. 11 Marion Bartoli produced the biggest upset of the tournament by defeating world number 1 and favourite Justine Henin. She faces Venus Williams in the final, who defeated Ana Ivanovic with cool efficiency. Novak Djokovic contested another gruelling match, winning in five sets against Marcos Baghdatis. Roger Federer came through, not unscathed though, as he lost his first set of the tournament. Richard Gasquet awaits him, after shocking Andy Roddick in a shocking comeback from two-sets-to-love down. 12 The gruelling schedule of the tournament took its toll on the competitors in the men's semi-final matches. Richard Gasquet pushed Roger Federer in the first set, but the world number one eventually prevailed 7–5, 6–3, 6–4. Novak Djokovic managed to take the first set off Rafael Nadal in the other semi-final match, but an array of injury problems forced him to retire at 6–3, 1–6, 1–4 down, leaving Nadal to progress to the final. In the ladies final, Venus Williams won her fourth Wimbledon title over Marion Bartoli 6–4, 6–1. Venus used hard serves and hard groundstrokes to keep Bartoli at bay. In the award ceremony Bartoli said Venus Williams was unbeatable on grass. 13 Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were meeting again in this year's Wimbledon final after the clash in the previous year. The match was 7–6, 4–6, 7–6, 1–4 when Nadal had a problem with his right knee. After treatment, he returned in the match to wrap the set 2–6 to force the match to the fifth set; Federer won the set 6–2 and with it, the match, 7–6, 4–6, 7–6, 2–6, 6–2. Roger won the Wimbledon title for the fifth time and he equaled the record of Björn Borg. Notable stories Comebacks Martina Hingis had to save two match points against British wild card Naomi Cavaday on Day 1, almost repeating her first-round exit from the 2001 championships. Hingis eventually went on to win the match 6–7, 7–5, 6–0.[15] Janko Tipsarević beat Fernando González 6–3, 3–6, 6–3, 4–6, 8–6 to advance to the fourth round. Tipsarević was ranked 64 and González was seeded 5 but ranked 6, and saved a match point over González.[16][17][18] Tim Henman defeated Carlos Moyá in round 1 after going down two sets to one in a match that lasted two days with a 5th set scoreline of 13–11. Henman failed to convert 6 match points before capitalizing from a double fault by Moya on the 7th match point.[19][20] Juan Carlos Ferrero also came back, this time from two sets to none down in a match suspended for 2 days, 7–5 in the 5th set against Jan Hájek. Nikolay Davydenko made a remarkable comeback against Chris Guccione in round 2, losing the first 2 sets before winning 3–6, 5–7, 7–6, 6–4, 6–2. It was a special comeback because Davydenko, who had a previous horrific record on grass, made it into round 3 of Wimbledon for the first time.[21] Serena Williams made an unbelievable comeback against Daniela Hantuchová in the Fourth Round. Williams cramped in the second set at 5–5, 30–15 with Hantuchová serving. She was treated and played to a tiebreak when a rain delay halted play for almost 2 hours. Both players came back and finished the tiebreak, which Hantuchová won. Then in the third set, Williams started off slow but powered to a 6–2, 6–7, 6–2 win to advance to the quarterfinals against Justine Henin.[22] Venus Williams was almost knocked out by Alla Kudryavtseva in her first round match, when she won 2–6, 6–3, 7–5. She was down a set and possible break points before finally winning her match in three sets.[23] Venus Williams came back from one set all to win a match tightly against Akiko Morigami 6–2, 3–6, 7–5. Morigami had been a game away from victory, but Venus was able to take control and dismiss Morigami.[24] Nicole Vaidišová knocked out defending champion Amélie Mauresmo in the fourth round to reach her first Wimbledon quarterfinal. After narrowly winning a first set tie-break and losing the second set to the title holder, Vaidišová came back to win 6–1 in the third set.[25] Marion Bartoli beat world number one Justine Henin in the women's singles semi-final after losing the first set 6–1 and being a break down in the second. She won the final set 6–1.[26] Ai Sugiyama and Katarina Srebotnik beat the top seeds Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur 1–6, 6–3, 6–2 after being down 6–1, 3–0 in the ladies' doubles semifinal. This was Srebotnik's first Wimbledon final and Sugiyama's fifth. Ana Ivanovic defeated Nicole Vaidišová 4–6, 6–2, 7–5 having been down a break in the second set and saving three match points at 3–5 down in the third set. Day by Day Day 1 Many matches were cancelled by rain, an ominous precursor to the entire tournament. Top seeds Roger Federer and Justine Henin managed to defeat their opponents easily. Philipp Kohlschreiber became the first seeded player to exit the tournament. Seeded players Martina Hingis and Patty Schnyder were pushed by their opponents, each playing 3 sets with Hingis saving 2 match points.

Seeded players out: Mara Santangelo and Ai Sugiyama Middle Sunday Seeded player out: Tommy Haas (injury) Day 7 There was a little bit of rain and a few surprises too. Although there was more rain, Justine Henin found time to advance to the quarterfinals, while Elena Dementieva surprised everyone by losing to an unseeded Tamira Paszek. Agnieszka Radwańska, after sending seeded Martina Müller out in the second round a few days earlier, couldn't do the same thing to Svetlana Kuznetsova. In a highly intense matach, Serena Williams cramped against Daniela Hantuchová late in a second set. Serena battled the injury, losing the second set tie-break but winning after a rain delay.

Richard Gasquet, another French player, pulled off the biggest upset of the men's in taking out #3 seed and ranked Roddick. Roddick had a two set lead before Gasquet won the final 3 sets to book a semi final spot.

But Federer came through by winning the tiebreak in the first and third sets, and faced four break points before victory in the final set. Arnaud Clément and Michaël Llodra, beating number one seeded Bryan brothers, became the Gentlemen's Doubles champions, while Cara Black and Liezel Huber were victorious in the Ladies' Doubles final. Jamie Murray became the first British player to win a senior Wimbledon title in 20 years by winning the Mixed Doubles with Serbian partner Jelena Janković, beating Jonas Björkman and Alicia Molik in 3 sets.
