2014 French Open – Men's Singles

Men's Singles
2014 French Open
Champion	Rafael Nadal
Runner-up	Novak Djokovic
Final score	3–6, 7–5, 6–2, 6–4

Rafael Nadal was the four-time defending champion and successfully defended his title, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final, claiming his record-extending ninth French Open crown and his fourteenth Grand Slam, tying him with Pete Sampras in second place for the most Grand Slam titles. Nadal became the first man to win 9 titles at the same grand slam tournament, further distancing himself from the previous record of 7 titles at the same grand slam event which was held a handful of players including Pete Sampras and Roger Federer at Wimbledon. By winning the tournament, Nadal improved his record at Roland Garros to 66–1 and became the first man to win the French Open five times in a row. ^[1]

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.
