Men's Singles
2010 French Open
Champion	Rafael Nadal
Runner-up	Robin Söderling
Final score	6–4, 6–2, 6–4

Roger Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Robin Söderling, which allowed the Swede to make a second successive final here. This was the first time since the 2004 French Open that Federer did not reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament, and as of 2015 is the only Grand Slam to not feature either Federer or Novak Djokovic in the semifinals since the 2004 French Open.^[1][2]

Rafael Nadal won his fifth French Open title by defeating Söderling in the final, 6–4, 6–2, 6–4.^[3] Nadal finished the tournament without having dropped a set for the second time (the first time was in 2008). This let Nadal regain the world no. 1 ranking for the first time since July 2009.
