The 2007 WTA Tour Championships, officially Sony Ericsson Championships, is the thirty seventh season-ending WTA Tour Championships, the annual tennis tournament for the eight best female tennis players in singles, and four teams in doubles, on the 2007 WTA Tour. It was held from 6 November though 11 November 2007, in Madrid, Spain.
Since 2005, main tournament sponsor is Sony Ericsson; and for the second time, the final event in the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar is held in Spain, on Casa de Campo grounds, in Madrid Arena. In 2008, the tournament is going to be held in Doha, Qatar.
Justine Henin, from Belgium, won the tournament and the check for $1 million, her second tournament title in a row, defeating Russian, Maria Sharapova in three sets. Cara Black and Liezel Huber defeated Ai Sugiyama and Katarina Srebotnik in the final of doubles competition.
On August 1, the first two players to qualify for the Championships were Justine Henin from Belgium and Jelena Janković from Serbia. Henin, last year's winner, leads the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour with nine singles titles already claimed in 2007, including French Open and U.S. Open, and also titles in Dubai, Doha, Warsaw, Eastbourne, Toronto, Stuttgart and Zürich. Janković is the first Serbian woman representing her country to qualify for the season-ending event. This season, she has won four singles titles on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour at Auckland, Charleston, Rome, and Birmingham. She also reached the semi-finals at the French Open.
