Rafael Nadal defeated Casper Ruud in the final, 6–3, 6–3, 6–0 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2022 French Open. It was his record-extending 14th and final French Open title and record-extending 22nd and final major title overall.[1][2] It marked the first time in his career that he won the Australian Open and the French Open in the same calendar year.[3][4] Nadal also became the third man to defeat four top 10 players en route to a major title since the introduction of ATP rankings in 1973 (after Mats Wilander at the 1982 French Open and Roger Federer at the 2017 Australian Open).[5][6] Ruud became the first Norwegian man to reach a major quarterfinal and beyond (surpassing his father Christian), and the first Scandinavian man to do so since Robin Söderling in 2010.[7]
Novak Djokovic was the defending champion,[8] but lost in the quarterfinals to Nadal.[9] Djokovic was attempting to equal Nadal's all-time record of 21 men's singles major titles and become the first man in history to achieve the triple career Grand Slam.[10] Their quarterfinal match was their record-extending 59th encounter, and their 10th encounter at the French Open, which is an Open Era record for two players in one tournament.[11]
Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev were in contention for the ATP No. 1 singles ranking. Following Djokovic's quarterfinal loss and Zverev's semifinal retirement, Djokovic retained the No. 1 ranking at the end of the tournament. One week later, on 13 June 2022, when points from the previous year's tournament were dropped,[12] Medvedev reclaimed the top ranking, while Zverev reached into the new career high ranking of world No. 2, ending the Big Three's streak in the top 2 spots since 10 November 2003. Additionally, as Roger Federer did not enter the tournament, he fell outside of the top 50 in the ATP rankings for the first time since 5 June 2000.[13][14][15]
Stefanos Tsitsipas' fourth-round loss guaranteed a first-time French Open finalist from the bottom half of the draw, with Ruud emerging as that finalist.[16] Holger Rune became the first Danish man to reach a major singles quarterfinal in the Open Era.[17]
This was the first edition of the French Open to feature a tiebreak (10-point) in the fifth set when the match reached 6 games all.[18][19][20] Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Aslan Karatsev became the first players to contest this tiebreak in the main draw in their first-round match.[21] This tournament marked the first time since the 2002 Australian Open that Feliciano López failed to qualify for the main draw of a major, ending his record streak of 79 consecutive major appearances.[22] It was also the last Grand Slam appearance for former world No. 6 Gilles Simon, losing in the 3rd round and final professional tournament for former world No. 5 and 2008 Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who lost in the 1st round to Ruud.[23]
