Tereza Martincova of the Czech Republic enters the Birmingham final as the 248th-ranked player, bringing recent momentum after defeating Irina Shinikova in straight sets during her path to this championship match. The Czech competitor has faced some challenging losses to Camila Osorio and Linda Fruhvirtova in her recent tournament play, but her grass-court performance in Birmingham has proven competitive through the rounds. This marks Martincova's first meeting against Marketa Xu on the grass courts of Birmingham, with no prior head-to-head history between the two players.

Marketa Xu represents Great Britain at a ranking of 257th, having reached the Birmingham final despite recent defeats to Daniela Vidmanova and Lucie Klimovicova in qualifying and early rounds. The home player will look to capitalize on familiar grass conditions as she faces off against Martincova in this title match. Xu and Martincova have no previous head-to-head record, making this final an intriguing first encounter between the two grass-court competitors.
