2017 French Open – Men's singles

Rafael Nadal defeated Stan Wawrinka in the final, 6–2, 6–3, 6–1 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2017 French Open.[1] It was his record-extending tenth French Open title and 15th major title overall. Nadal became the first man to win ten singles titles at the same major. He won the title without losing a set for a record-equaling third time (tying Björn Borg), not losing more than four games in any set played.[2] He lost only 35 games during the tournament, his personal best, and the second-best in the tournament's history after Borg in 1978. Nadal also became the third man, after Ken Rosewall and Pete Sampras, to win a major title in his teens, twenties, and thirties.

Rafael Nadal in the third round vs Nikoloz Basilashvili

Novak Djokovic was the defending champion, but lost to Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals. Djokovic was attempting to become the first man in the Open Era to achieve a double career Grand Slam (he would eventually achieve the feat four years later). This was the first time since 2010 that he did not reach at least the semifinals at the French Open, and the first time since 2009 that he lost a French Open match in straight sets.

The hard-fought semifinal between Wawrinka and Andy Murray marked the end for both players at the very top of the sport, as both suffered injuries that took them out of the game for months from which they did not reclaim their prior preeminence.[3][4][5] Neither has since reached another major semi-final.

This marked the first major appearance of future ATP Finals champion and two-time major finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas, who lost to Ivo Karlović in the first round.

Seeded players edit

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on 22 May 2017. Rank and points before are as of 29 May 2017.

Because the tournament takes place one week later than in 2016, points defending includes results from both the 2016 French Open and tournaments from the week of 6 June 2016 (Stuttgart and 's-Hertogenbosch).
