Champion	Roger Federer
Runner-up	Robin Söderling
Final score	6–1, 7–6^(7–1), 6–4

Rafael Nadal was the four-time defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to Robin Söderling. This was Nadal's first defeat (of two) at the French Open, having won the title in all four of his previous appearances at Roland Garros since debuting in 2005.

Roger Federer beat Söderling in the final 6–1, 7–6^(7–1), 6–4 to win his first French Open title, complete the career Grand Slam, and equal Pete Sampras' then-record of 14 Grand Slam titles.^[1]

Until the 2016 Wimbledon, this was the last Grand Slam tournament that Novak Djokovic failed to reach the quarter-finals. He lost to Philipp Kohlschreiber in the third round.^[2]
