Tennis tournament
The2006 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament played ongrass courts at theAll England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club inWimbledon, London in the United Kingdom.[ 1] [ 2] Wimbledon Championships and were held from 26 June to 9 July 2006. It was the thirdGrand Slam tennis event of the year.
Roger Federer won his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title, defeatingRafael Nadal in what was to be the first of three consecutive Wimbledon finals played between the pair.Venus Williams was unsuccessful in her title defence, losing in the third round againstJelena Janković .Amélie Mauresmo won her second Grand Slam title, and first and only Wimbledon title, defeatingJustine Henin-Hardenne in the final in three sets. Mauresmo thus became the first Frenchwoman since 1925 to win the Wimbledon title.[ 3] 2006 Australian Open final to Mauresmo earlier in the year; on that occasion, Henin-Hardenne retired due to a stomach virus.
American performance and Serbian breakthrough [ edit ] Jelena Janković knocked Venus Williams out of Wimbledon in the third round. For the first time since1911 , no American player reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, and for the first time since the1976 Australian Open , no American player reached a Grand Slam quarter-final.[ 4] Shenay Perry was the only American player to reach the fourth round; she was defeated 6–2, 6–0 byElena Dementieva after losing the last ten games of the match.[ 5] 1998 .
Venus Williams ' third round defeat byJelena Janković of Serbia (on its first Grand Slam appearance as a newly established independent nation from the formerSerbia and Montenegro ) caused the earliest exit by a defending women's champion at Wimbledon sinceSteffi Graf lost in the first round in1994 and meant that neither of theWilliams sisters (Serena Williams withdrew due to injury) would be represented in a Wimbledon final for the first time since1999 .[ 6] Ana Ivanovic [ 7] Novak Djokovic [ 8] Amélie Mauresmo and the latter losing toMario Ančić .
[ edit ] China'sLi Na became the first player from her country to ever be seeded or reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam tournament. She upset the recent French Open finalistSvetlana Kuznetsova in the third round[ 9] Nicole Vaidišová in the fourth round,[ 10] Kim Clijsters .[ 11] 2009 US Open , where again she was defeated by Clijsters.[ 12]
Midway during the ladies' quarter-final match betweenMaria Sharapova andElena Dementieva , a streaker ran onto the Centre Court and interrupted the match, before ultimately being arrested and brought into custody by Wimbledon security guards.[ 13] Sander Lantinga , who carried out the stunt as part of the Dutch television showTry Before You Die .[ 14]
