Ons Jabeur defeated Daria Kasatkina in the final, 7–5, 6–4, to win the singles tennis title at the 2021 Birmingham Classic. By winning her first career singles title on her third attempt, Jabeur became the first Tunisian and Arab woman to win a singles title on the WTA Tour.[1]

Ashleigh Barty was the defending champion from when the event was last held in 2019,[2] but she chose to play in Berlin instead,[3] where she later withdrew from due to injury.[4]
