# 2021 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles

Ashleigh Barty defeated Karolína Plíšková in the final, 6–3, 6–7$^{(4–7)}$, 6–3 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships. It was her first Wimbledon title and second major singles title overall. She was the first Australian to win the title since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1980, and the first top seed to win the title since Serena Williams in 2016. Barty's victory made her the fourth player (following Ann Jones, Martina Hingis and Amélie Mauresmo) to win the women's singles title after previously winning the girls' singles title. She retained the world No. 1 singles ranking by reaching the semifinals, with Aryna Sabalenka also in contention for the top ranking.
Simona Halep was the reigning champion from when the tournament was last held in 2019, but she withdrew before the tournament due to a calf injury.
Serena Williams retired from her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich due to injury. This marked the first time since 2014 that the Wimbledon final did not feature one of the Williams sisters (as Venus Williams lost to Ons Jabeur in the second round), as well as the first time since 1997 that neither sister progressed beyond the second round.
This was the first edition of Wimbledon since 2009 that saw the top two seeds progress to the semifinals. Additionally, this was the first major in the Open Era where two wildcards, Liudmila Samsonova and Emma Raducanu (making her first major appearance), reached the fourth round. Raducanu was the youngest British woman to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon in the Open Era. Jabeur was the first Tunisian and the first Arabian woman to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
