Main article: 2004 Wimbledon Championships
Maria Sharapova defeated the two-time defending champion Serena Williams in the final, 6–1, 6–4 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships.[1] It was her first major title. The 17-year-old's victory over the six-time major champion was described by commentators as "the most stunning upset in memory".[2]
With this win, Sharapova entered the top 10 in rankings for the first time in her career. She also became the third-youngest woman to win Wimbledon (behind Lottie Dod and Martina Hingis )[3] and the second Russian woman (after Anastasia Myskina won the 2004 French Open ) to win a major title.[4]
Serena Williams was attempting to become the first woman to win the singles tournament three consecutive times since Steffi Graf was champion in 1991 , 1992 and 1993 .
This was also the last major singles tournament that former world No. 1 Martina Navratilova competed in. Having been awarded a wild card, she won her first round match and became, at age 47, the oldest player in the Open Era to win a main draw match at Wimbledon and the second-lowest ranked player (No. 1,001) to win a main draw match at Wimbledon, (behind Barbara Schwartz , who was unranked in 2001).[5] [6]
