The 2001 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament played on outdoor grass courts in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom the event was part of the 2001 ATP Tour and 2001 WTA Tour.[1] The tournament was held from June 25 to July 9, 2001.[1] The 2001 event marked the first time in Wimbledon's 124 year history in which 32 players in the men's and women's draw were seeded, instead of the usual sixteen. This was a move made to appease clay court players unhappy with the traditional seeding system, which weighs grass court results over those of other surfaces. [7]
