2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final
The 2007 Wimbledon Men's Singles final was the championship tennis match of the Men's Singles tournament at the 2007 Wimbledon Championships. A part of the storied Federer–Nadal rivalry, it pitted the world No. 1 and defending champion Roger Federer against the world No. 2 Rafael Nadal. After 3 hours and 45 minutes, Federer defeated Nadal 7–6(9–7), 4–6, 7–6(7–3), 2–6, 6–2.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final
Upon its conclusion it was almost universally praised as the greatest Wimbledon final since Borg–McEnroe in 1980.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Background
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have a storied rivalry that  many consider to be the greatest in tennis history. As they entered the 2007 Wimbledon Championships, the two men had collectively won the last nine consecutive Grand Slam titles.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Background
The 2007 Wimbledon Men's Singles final was a rematch of the previous year's Championships final. Federer had won not only that match, but had also been the Wimbledon champion four years in a row and was on a quest of tying Björn Borg's record of five consecutive Wimbledon Championships.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Background
Nadal, on the other hand, had just won the French Open for the third time in a row and was trying to achieve the rare French Open-Wimbledon double. Additionally, Nadal had denied Federer from completing the Career Grand Slam, and becoming the first man since 1968 to win all four Grand Slams consecutively.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Background
The hype preceding the match was enormous because although Federer was the four-time defending champion, Nadal entered the match with an 8-4 lead in their head-to-head record.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Match details
Federer leapt out to an early lead in the first set but it was decided in a memorable tiebreaker. Federer appeared to have won the set only to have the call reversed by the new review system Hawkeye. Federer would eventually win the first set 7–6. Nadal rebounded in the second set, breaking Federer in the final game to take the set 6–4.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Match details
Neither player could break through in the third set which saw twelve consecutive holds before Federer won the tiebreaker and seized the two sets to one advantage. Nadal shocked many by racing to a 4–0 lead in the fourth set, and after an injury time-out he closed out the set 6–2.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Match details
The final set was a dramatic affair with Nadal failing to convert four break points in the third and fifth games that would have given him an early lead. Federer proved too strong in the latter part of the set, breaking Nadal in the sixth and eighth games to close out the match.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Significance
This match was historic as it saw Federer equal Björn Borg's open-era record of five consecutive Wimbledon Championships. Due to this potential Borg returned to the All England Club for the first time in many years to witness the Wimbledon final. The victory also equalled Federer with Borg and Rod Laver with 11 Grand Slam championships, leaving him only three behind Pete Sampras in his quest to achieve the all-time record.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Significance
This was the first Wimbledon final to use the replay technology system Hawk-Eye. The system proved controversial reversing a set point for Federer in the first set. In the fourth set Federer grew frustrated with almost all of the reviews going Nadal's way and asked the umpire to turn it off saying, "it's killing me today."


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Significance
This was also the first time that Federer or Nadal had ever played a fifth set in a Grand Slam final. They would go on to also play five sets in the final the following year, which Nadal won in what many consider the greatest match of all time. Nadal would also beat Federer in five sets at the 2009 Australian Open, and Federer would beat Nadal in five sets in the final of the 2017 Australian Open.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final, Significance
Due to construction of a new retractable roof, this was the only Wimbledon final played without the upper facade which had been removed.

Murray became the first British champion of a senior Wimbledon title  since Jeremy Bates and Jo Durie won the same title at the 1987 Championships. This was the first and only Grand Slam title won by Janković in her career, and she became the first Serbian female tennis player to win a Grand Slam tournament.

Williams, ranked 31st at the time and seeded 23rd, remains the lowest ranked and lowest seeded woman ever to win Wimbledon. This was Williams' fourth Wimbledon singles title and she also became the first female champion to earn the same prize money as the male champion, following the tournament's decision to award equal pay for the first time that year. Amélie Mauresmo was the defending champion, but was defeated by Nicole Vaidišová in the fourth round.


2007 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles
Bartoli reached her first Grand Slam final after a semifinal victory over world No. 1 Justine Henin that was described as one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history. Though she lost the final, she would eventually win the Wimbledon title six years later in her final Grand Slam tournament.

2007 Winchester City Council election
The 2007 Winchester Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of Winchester District Council in Hampshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.


2007 Winchester City Council election, Campaign
19 seats were contested in the election with both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats putting up candidates in all of the contested wards. Labour had 15 candidates, the United Kingdom Independence Party 6, Green Party 2 and there were 2 independents. The Labour leader on the council, Peter Rees, stood down at the election, while St Bartholomew ward had the first Muslim candidate for the council in the Conservative Abdul Kayum. Since the 2006 council election the Conservatives had controlled the council with a narrow majority.


2007 Winchester City Council election, Campaign
Refuse collection was an important issue in the election, after the Conservative council planned to move from weekly to fortnightly collections in June for more of the council area including Swanmore, Whiteley and Wickham. They said this would boost recycling, but the Liberal Democrats said residents were against the move and that they would collect kitchen waste every week if they controlled the council.


2007 Winchester City Council election, Election result
The results saw the Conservatives keep a majority on the council, with the party still having 29 seats. They gained one seat from the Liberal Democrats in Owslebury and Curdridge but lost one back in Compton and Otterbourne ward. Labour lost both of the seats they were defending on the council to leave the party with only 1 councillor. The beneficiaries were the Liberal Democrats who gained the seats in St Luke and St John and All Saints wards. The Liberal Democrats thus had 23 seats after the election, but had come within 19 votes of gaining a seat from the Conservatives in Whiteley ward, which would have deprived the Conservatives of a majority.


2007 Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council election
The 2007 Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of Windsor and Maidenhead Unitary Council in Berkshire, England. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative Party gained overall control of the council from the Liberal Democrats.


2007 Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council election, Election result
The results saw the Conservatives gain control of the council from the Liberal Democrats after gaining 19 seats, 18 of them from the Liberal Democrats. This meant the Conservatives held 36 seats, compared to 16 for the Liberal Democrats. Among the Liberal Democrats who were defeated was the leader of the council, Mary Rose Gliksten, who was defeated in Castle Without ward. Meanwhile, the British National Party, who were standing 4 candidates for the council for the first time, failed to win any seats, but won more votes than the Labour party in the wards they were contesting.

2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship
The 2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship is the fourth of the 2007 V8 Supercar season. It was held on the weekend of 18 to 20 May at Winton Motor Raceway in Victoria (Australia).


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Pre-round
Two main stories occurred between the previously race at Pukekohe and this round. Firstly Brad Jones announced his immediate retirement from the V8 Supercar championship after a 20-year career. Jones will be replaced from the Winton round for the remainder of the season by Simon Wills. Secondly the Supercheap Auto Racing team was sold by Kees Weel to the No Limit Group. The sale however later fell apart without being completed.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Qualifying, Part 1
The first session of qualifying began with Todd Kelly quickest, however his teammate at the Holden Racing Team Mark Skaife began with a spin. As Winton is a test track for a number of the teams, it could be seen that these teams had an advantage over the other teams. After the first session, Garth Tander was quickest from Todd Kelly and Jack Daniel's Racing’s Shane Price. However some of the bigger names did not back the top 20 drivers to advance to the second part of qualifying including Greg Murphy and Russell Ingall. Ingall was later relegated to the back of the grid after failing to have his car weighed after qualifying.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Qualifying, Part 2
In the second part of qualifying, Jason Richards of Tasman Motorsport was quickest at the start of the session. The session was relatively clean, however Steven Richards ran wide through the mud at turn 11. After the session, Todd Kelly, Garth Tander and Jason Richards were the top three, with both Mark Skaife and Craig Lowndes missing out.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Qualifying, Part 3
Part 3 of qualifying was a clean session, with Todd Kelly leading from Tander and Price at the midpoint of the session. As the session progressed, Tander and Jason Richards battled for second position.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Qualifying, Part 3
After qualifying had finished, Todd Kelly took pole position from Garth Tander and Jason Richards. In their best qualifying session of the year, the Jack Daniels Racing team drivers of Shane Price and Jack Perkins qualified fifth and eighth respectively.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 1
Race 1 was held on Saturday 19 May 2007. The race started in wet conditions and this caused a number of incidents to occur in the first few laps. Garth Tander was able to take the lead on the first lap, however a number of drivers including Jason Bright, Mark Skaife, Russell Ingall and James Courtney all went off the track on the first lap.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 1
On lap 2, Jason Richards run wide at turn 11 and went off the track from second position, and then on lap 3, the Todd Kelly in second collided with the leader Garth Tander causing Tander to spin. He rejoined the race in 12th position. Following this incident, Todd Kelly then spun off the track on lap 6 at turn 11 and got stuck in the gravel trap, which caused the safety car to come out.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 1
The race was restarted on lap 9, however almost immediately Paul Dumbrell collided with Russell Ingall causing steering damage to Ingall's car which then went off the track and into the gravel trap. This again caused the safety car to come out.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 1
At the restart on lap 12, Lee Holdsworth was able to take the lead from Mark Winterbottom before Winterbottom retook the lead at turn 3 of the same lap. Soon after, the safety car came out again as Todd Kelly spun off the track. Once the compulsory pit stops had been completed, Jamie Whincup lead from Rick Kelly and Craig Lowndes.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 1
Towards the end of the race Mark Winterbottom, who was using slick tyres on the drying track collided with Max Wilson which caused Winterbottom to go off at turn 11 and caused the safety car to come out for a fourth time. The safety car came in with 3 laps to go, and James Courtney made a number of positions running on dry tyres.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 1
At the end of the 40 laps, Jamie Whincup gave Ford their first win of the season from Steven Richards and Rick Kelly after Courtney was given a penalty for an incident wit Greg Murphy on the penultimate lap.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 2
Race 2 was held on Sunday 20 May 2007. The race was also held in wet conditions however the start was relatively clean. Mark Skaife once again had a bad race, running off the circuit at turn 11 on lap 5. He was also the first driver to change from wet weather tyres to slicks as the racing line dried on lap 10. This began a trend where the drivers lower down the field also changed to slick to try to take advantage of the drying track, while the leaders stayed on wet weather tyres.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 2
On lap 14, Jason Richards spun off the track and crashed into the wall on slick tyres after driving off the dry race line. Craig Lowndes also had a spin at turn 1. The first safety car of the race occurred when Lee Holdsworth spun off the track and crashed heavily into the wall at turn 4. This caused major damage to the rear of the Garry Rogers Motorsport car. During the safety car period, it started raining again and the drivers that changed to slicks had to go back to wet weather tyres.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 2
After the restart on lap 25, Jamie Whincup took the lead from Tander, however Tander retook the lead at turn 3 of the same lap. Over the last 10 laps, Tander and Whincup battled for the lead in damp conditions and while dealing with lapped traffic. At the end of the race, Garth Tander won, from Jamie Whincup and teammate Rick Kelly.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 3
Race 3 was held on Sunday 20 May 2007. The race began in dry conditions and this remained the same for the remainder of the race. Garth Tander lead the race in the early stages of the race. Steve Johnson retired for the race with an engine problem, and Mark Skaife also had a problem with the suspension of his car, ending a bad weekend for him.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 3
The only safety car of the race was due to Paul Morris spinning off at turn 12 and becoming stuck in the sand trap. This was caused by oil which had been spilt on the approach to turn 12 and a number of drivers also rain wide and off the circuit because of the oil, however Morris was the only driver to get stuck.


2007 Winton round of the V8 Supercar Championship, Race 3
The safety car came in on lap 27 and Tander continued to lead the race until the finish where he won the race from Jamie Whincup and Rick Kelly.

2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team
The 2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team represented the University of Wisconsin–Madison during the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by head coach Bret Bielema, the Badgers completed the season with a 9–4 record, including a 5–3 mark in Big Ten Conference play. The season ended with a loss in the Outback Bowl to Tennessee, 21–17.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Previous season
The 2006 Wisconsin Badgers football team was unranked going into the season with first year head coach Bret Bielema. After a tough loss to Michigan, the Badgers rebounded and finished the season 11-1, tying the Wolverines for second in the Big Ten. The Badgers then defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks, 17–14, in the Capital One Bowl finishing the season ranked #5 in the Coaches' Poll and #7 in the AP Poll.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Illinois
Wisconsin's dreams of an undefeated season were snapped in Champaign-Urbana, as the Illini stunned the 5th ranked Badgers 31–25. A poor showing by the Badgers, combined with excellent efforts across the board for the Illini, sunk the Badgers, who fell to 2–1 in the Big Ten and 5–1 overall despite an incredible effort by QB Tyler Donovan, who completed 27 passes on 49 attempts for 392 yards and 2 TDs. Illinois's defense sacked Donovan twice and forced a pair of INTs (one by Vontae Davis, the other by Kevin Mitchell). Illinois RB Rashard Mendenhall ran wild on the Badgers for 160 yards and 2 TDs on just 19 carries, and QB Juice Williams dissected Wisconsin through the air and on the ground. Williams completed 12 passes on 19 attempts for 121 yards, and ran for 92 yards on 14 carries.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill fumbled on his very first carry of the game, and Wisconsin simply collapsed in Happy Valley, losing 38–7 to Penn State. Wisconsin QB Tyler Donovan had a bad game, as he threw 2 INTs, was sacked 5 times, and averaged just 1.1 YPC on 11 carries. The Wisconsin defense, put in often impossible situations by the ineptitude of their offense (Wisconsin turned the ball over 3 times and committed 8 penalties), caved under pressure from Penn State. Wisconsin P Ken Debauche punted 6 times on the day.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Penn State RB Rodney Kinlaw ran for 115 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, and WR Deon Butler caught 7 passes for 93 yards and the only passing touchdown of the day by either team. However, the leading receiver of the game was Wisconsin WR Kyle Jefferson, who caught 6 passes for 124 yards.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Ohio State
At one point in the game, Wisconsin led Ohio State 17–10, but a big 4th Quarter from the Buckeyes offense and defense secured an eventual Ohio State victory. The game snapped a 2-game winning streak by the Badgers over Ohio State (from the 2003 and 2004 seasons) and improved Jim Tressel's record to 2–3 against Wisconsin.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Michigan
Wisconsin pounded Lloyd Carr's Michigan team 37–21 for their second consecutive home win over the Wolverines, and Bret Bielema's second win over a ranked opponent (his first was against Michigan State). Carr benched both QB Chad Henne and RB Mike Hart so they would both be healthy against Ohio State next week.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Michigan
Wisconsin rattled off 17 unanswered points to open the game; starting with a Travis Beckum touchdown reception off a 10-yard pass from Tyler Donovan, a Taylor Mehlhaff field goal, and a 2-yard TD run by Donovan. Michigan answered with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Mallett to WR Mario Manningham for their only score of the first half. Wisconsin got another Mehlhaff FG with 0:15 remaining in the half and led 20-7 at halftime.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Michigan
Both teams had a sluggish third quarter; the only points scored by either team came on a 19-yard FG by Taylor Mehlhaff for Wisconsin. However, Wisconsin and Michigan scored a pair of touchdowns apiece in the 4th quarter; Michigan getting a record setting 97 yard touchdown reception by Mario Manningham and a 26-yard TD pass from Mallett to WR Adrian Arrington and Wisconsin answering with a pair of touchdown runs by RB Zach Brown.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Michigan
Wisconsin's starting RB P.J. Hill managed a grand total of 14 yards on 5 carries. Zach Brown, his backup, ran for 108 yards on 28 carries with a pair of TDs. Wisconsin WR Paul Hubbard made 7 receptions for 134 yards, and TE Travis Beckum caught 6 passes for 106 yards with a touchdown reception.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Michigan
The Badgers improved to 8–3 on the year, and face 1-10 Minnesota next week in Minneapolis. With a win over Ohio State next week, Michigan could win the Big Ten outright.


2007 Wisconsin Badgers football team, Game summaries, Season Summary
After a 5–0 start, Wisconsin lost its next two games (to Illinois and Penn State, both on the road). Wins in 4 of their next 5 clinched a 9–3 regular season, but poor showings against Penn State and Ohio State, as well as a below-average effort against Tennessee in the postseason, put a dampener on an otherwise successful season for the Badgers.

Angela, a paraplegic, and Franck, a leg amputee, had originally planned to row the Atlantic in a differently-abled four, "Differents?" in 2006 but, when this was cancelled, agreed to row as a pair in order to "inspire, motivate and effect positive changes in the lives of those who are born differently abled and those who suffer serious trauma in their lives." "Differents?" made its first Atlantic crossing in 1997 and competed in the 2005 race as "Bout de Vie".

2007 Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race, Oyster Shack
"Oyster Shack Ocean Challenger" was attempting to beat the record for the fastest rowed Atlantic crossing of 35 days 8 Hours and 30 minutes, set in 1992 by "La Mondiale" with a French crew of 11. The same "La Mondiale", this time with a British & Irish crew of fourteen, and an American rowed tri-maran "Orca", with a crew of four, set out from Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria, for Port St. Charles, Barbados, at about the same time—both trying to beat the record.


2007 Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race, Oyster Shack
"Oyster Shack" had a late crew change and delayed their start until 5 December 2007, 2 days after the race started, hoping for better weather. Unfortunately the new crew member, Andy Morris, injured his knee and the attempt was abandoned after 22 hours with the boat towed to El Hierro. Having returned to La Gomera by ferry the boat was repaired and the five remaining crew members: Simon Chalk, Ian Couch, George Oliver, Mike Martin & Ben Thackwray (all GB) decided to try without a replacement.

Having waited for favourable weather again the second attempt left on 23 December 2007. Initially they had good weather and made good time, however, the rudder sheared off, the weather deteriorated and the repaired rudder broke again. They finally arrived in 37 days 5 hours and 39 minutes failing to beat the record. In the meantime "La Mondiale" had beaten the record with a time of 33 Days 7 hours and 30 minutes. This was the first crossing by a crew of five and the also the world record for fastest time from Canaries to Antigua in a row boat; as the four faster Atlantic crossings have all been to Barbados (which is subject to more favourable mid Atlantic currents).
