Federer was trying to become the first male player in the Open Era to achieve a double career Grand Slam; he lost to Ernests Gulbis in the fourth round. This marked Federer's first loss prior to the quarterfinals at this tournament since the 2004 French Open.

Both Nadal and Djokovic were in contention for the world no. 1 ranking at the start of the tournament, but Nadal retained the top position by defeating the Serbian in the final. This was the sixth time Djokovic met Nadal at Roland Garros with Nadal claiming all six wins.

This was the last Grand Slam tournament for former world No. 3 and 2009 ATP World Tour Finals champion Nikolay Davydenko and 2005 Us Open Semifinalist Robby Ginepri.
