Ashleigh Barty defeatedKarolína Plíšková in the final, 6–3, 6–7^(4–7), 6–3 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the2021 Wimbledon Championships.^[1][2] It was her firstWimbledon title and secondmajor singles title overall. Barty was the first Australian to win the title sinceEvonne Goolagong Cawley in1980, and the fifth player (followingKaren Susman,Ann Jones,Martina Hingis andAmélie Mauresmo) to win the women's singles title after previously winning the girls' singles title. She retained theworld No. 1 singles ranking by reaching the semifinals, withAryna Sabalenka also in contention for the top ranking.

Simona Halep was the reigning champion from when the tournament was last held in2019,^[3] but withdrew before the tournament due to a calf injury.^[4][5]

Serena Williams retired from her first-round match againstAliaksandra Sasnovich due to injury.^[6] This marked the first time since2014 that the Wimbledon final did not feature one of theWilliams sisters (asVenus Williams lost toOns Jabeur in the second round), as well as the first time since1997 that neither sister progressed beyond the second round.^[7]

This was the first edition of Wimbledon since2009 that saw the top two seeds progress to the semifinals.^[8] Additionally, this was the first major in theOpen Era where two wildcards,Liudmila Samsonova andEmma Raducanu (making her first major appearance), reached the fourth round.^[9] Raducanu was the youngest British woman to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon in the Open Era.^[10] Jabeur was the first Tunisian and the first Arab woman to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.^[11]

This tournament marked the first Wimbledon main-draw appearances offuturechampionsElena Rybakina andBarbora Krejčíková. Both lost in the fourth round, to Sabalenka and Barty respectively.
