Main article: 2021 Nottingham Open
Johanna Konta defeated Zhang Shuai in the final, 6–2, 6–1 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2021 Nottingham Open. The win earned Konta her fourth career singles title, her first since 2017, and made her the first British player to win a WTA Tour singles title on home soil since Sue Barker in 1981.[1] [2] This would also be Konta's final title before she announced her retirement in December 2021 due to a long-term knee injury.[3]
Caroline Garcia was the reigning champion from when the event was last held in 2019,[4] but she did not return to compete.
This tournament marked the WTA Tour main draw debut of future US Open champion Emma Raducanu;[5] she lost in the first round to Harriet Dart.
