2014 French Open – Men's Singles


Four-time defending champion Rafael Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic in the final 3–6, 7–5, 6–2, 6–4 to capture the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2014 French Open. Nadal claimed his record-extending ninth French Open crown and his fourteenth Grand Slam title, 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 became the first man to win the French Open five times in a row.
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.
