Caroline Garcia was the reigning champion from when the event was last held in 2019,[1] but chose not to participate.
Johanna Konta won the title, defeating Zhang Shuai in the final, 6–2, 6–1. Konta won her first title since 2017, and became the first British player to win a WTA singles title on home soil since Sue Barker in 1981. This would also be Konta's final WTA Tour title before her retirement in December 2021 due to a long-term knee injury.[2]
This tournament also marked the WTA main draw debut of British player Emma Raducanu. Raducanu would go on to reach the fourth round in Wimbledon in late June, and would claim her first grand slam title at the US Open in early September.
