2001 WTA Tour Championships

The 2001 WTA Tour Championships, also known by its sponsored name Sanex Championships, was a women's tennis tournament played on indoor carpet courts at the Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany.

Seventh-seeded Serena Williams won the singles event after Lindsay Davenport defaulted the final due to a knee injury she sustained in her semifinal match.

[3] Williams earned $500,000 first-prize money as well as 390 ranking points.

Venus Williams and Martina Hingis had qualified for the tournament but withdrew due to injuries while Monica Seles refused to play in Germany, the country where she was stabbed in 1993.

Lisa Raymond / Rennae Stubbs defeated Cara Black / Elena Likhovtseva, 7–5, 3–6, 6–3.
