Amélie Mauresmo defeated Justine Henin-Hardenne in the final, 2–6, 6–3, 6–4 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships.[1] [2] It was her second and final major title, having won the Australian Open earlier in the year. Mauresmo also became the first Frenchwoman to win Wimbledon since Suzanne Lenglen in 1925.[3] Henin-Hardenne was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam.
Venus Williams was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Jelena Janković.[4]
With Serena Williams not competing due to a knee injury, this marked the first Wimbledon since 1999 not to feature either of the Williams sisters in the final.[5] [6]
Li Na became the first Chinese player (male or female) to reach a major singles quarterfinal.[7] This also marked the major debut of future world No. 2 Agnieszka Radwańska, who reached the fourth round as a wildcard before losing to Kim Clijsters.
