7. Which French woman won her first Wimbledon crown in 2006?

Answer: Amelie Mauresmo

8. Venus Williams won her fourth title in 2007, but which position was she seeded?

Answer: 23rd

Williams, who had battled against wrist injuries, was ranked 31 in the world at the start of the tournament, and was seeded a lowly 23rd.

In contrast, the final against Venus was a straight sets affair, finishing 7-6, 6-2. Roger Federer made up for his final loss the previous year, by winning the longest final, in terms of games played, in history. He beat Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14.
