At the [[2007 Australian Open – Women's singles|Australian Open]], Hingis won her first three rounds without losing a set before defeating China's [[Li Na (tennis)|Li Na]] in the fourth round. Hingis then lost a quarterfinal match to [[Kim Clijsters]]. This was the second consecutive year that Hingis had lost to Clijsters in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jan/25/tennis.australianopen2007 |title=Hingis comeback quest suffers repeat rebuff from Clijsters |access-date=25 January 2007 |location=London |work=[[The Guardian]] |first=Steve |last=Bierley |date=25 January 2007 |archive-date=3 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803181626/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jan/25/tennis.australianopen2007 |url-status=live }}</ref> and the third time in the last five [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournaments that Clijsters had eliminated Hingis in the quarterfinals.

Hingis won her next tournament, the Tier I [[Toray Pan Pacific Open]] in Tokyo, defeating [[Ana Ivanovic]] in the final. This was Hingis's record fifth singles title at this event.

A hip injury that troubled her at the [[German Open (WTA)|German Open]] caused her to withdraw from the [[Rome Masters]], where she was the defending champion, and the French Open, the only important singles title that eluded her.

In her first round match at Wimbledon, Hingis saved two match points to defeat British wildcard [[Naomi Cavaday]], apparently not having fully recovered from the hip injury that prevented her from playing the French Open.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-25/200706251182793470187.html |title=I'm Not a Contender, Says Hingis |date=25 June 2007 |access-date=5 January 2008 |author=Kate Battersby |publisher=[[AELTC]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080125015438/http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-25/200706251182793470187.html |archive-date=25 January 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In the third round, Hingis lost to [[Laura Granville]] of the United States, and stated afterwards she should not have entered the tournament.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-29/200706291183145043812.html |title=Injury-hit Hingis Regrets Playing |publisher=AELTC |date=29 June 2007 |author=Kate Battersby |access-date=5 January 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080125015442/http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2007-06-29/200706291183145043812.html |archive-date=25 January 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
