Lenglen continued her dominance and met Lambert Chambers again in the Challenge Round. Lambert Chambers had defeated Ryan and Mallory to reach the final but lost 6-4 6-0. Lenglen also won the French Closed Championships and the Olympic Games. In fact Lenglen goes undefeated all year in singles as she wins 12 events.
Mallory defeated her semi-final conquerer of the previous year at the US Championships in the final and therefore won her 5th US Championships. The USTA changed the date of the US Nationals from June to September. This measure was approved and had the beneficial effect of allowing players to go overseas to compete at Wimbledon in June and return for the national title.
The ITF decided to make the Ladies Doubles a championship event at the World Hard Court and World Indoor events. It was pointed out that Wimbledon had already given the women this status in 1913.

From "Ayres' Lawn Tennis Almanack" (1921): "The oldest tournament outside Wimbledon again had a fair entry. [...] Mrs Lamplough and Mrs Sterry were both playing in the ladies' singles; they met in the second round, and Mrs Lamplough just won at 9-7 in the third set, after losing a love set to start with. After this she had no trouble. Heredity showed itself in Gwyneth Sterry, who won the girls' singles."
