Rafael Nadal defeated Robin Soderling in the final, 6?4, 6?2, 6?4 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2010 French Open. ^[1] It was his fifth French Open title and his seventh major title overall. Nadal won the title without dropping a set for the second time (the first being in 2008 ). By winning the title, Nadal regained the world No. 1 ranking from Roger Federer , who was in contention to break Pete Sampras ' record of 286 weeks spent with the top position.

Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Soderling in a rematch of the previous year's final. This was the first time since the 2004 French Open that Federer did not reach the semifinals of a major, a span of 23 majors. Federer was attempting to become the first man in the Open Era and the third man ever to achieve a double career Grand Slam ^{[

]}. Between the 2004 Wimbledon Championships and the 2017 Australian Open , this was the only major not to feature either Federer or Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. ^[2]^[3] Djokovic's quarterfinal match against Jurgen Melzer marked the only time he lost a match at a major after leading two sets to love.
