With the grasscourt season beginning with the Aegon Open on June 14 followed by Wimbledon in July, Konta said she does not feel any extra pressure to add to her three WTA titles.
"I am not feeling any more expectation than previous years. My own expectations in terms of how I want to do have stayed the same," Konta told reporters ahead of her first match at Nottingham.
"I can only ever do my best so where my best on the day will take me, will take me. I try to approach every game the same."
The world number eight said Jelena Ostapenko's French Open win underlined the depth of women's tennis.
The 20-year-old Latvian fought back from a set and 3-0 down to blaze past the experienced Simona Halep 4-6 6-4 6-3 and become her country's first grand slam champion.
"There is a lot of depth in women's tennis and she (Ostapenko) is the perfect example of that," Konta said. "She is a very, very good player and someone that has done well on the tour for a couple of years.
"She is not unknown to us and she has always been a very dangerous player. Her winning a slam is incredibly special for her and I am sure she is enjoying it.
"It shows the depth, it shows how many good quality players we have. It is exciting to see so much variety and it makes it an exciting time for the tour."
