France advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2007 EuroBasket Women with a hard-fought 68-60 victory over Serbia in the final game of the qualifying round.

Sandrine Gruda scored 16 points and Emilie Gomis added 14 points off the bench for the French, who finished 3-2 for third place in Group F, setting up a final eight showdown with Latvia.

Since the last EuroBasket, the country has become smaller once again, after the independence of Montenegro and the base for recruitment shrank with it. Some of the players, hesitating between a Serbian or a Montenegrin jersey, have chosen the Montenegro colours.
