2017 French Open – Men's Singles  Rafael Nadal won his 10th French Open title (his first since 2014) and 15th Grand Slam singles title, defeating Stan Wawrinka in the final, 6–2, 6–3, 6–1 to win the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2017 French Open. Nadal is the only male player to ever win 10 singles titles at the same Grand Slam event. Nadal lost only 35 games in the tournament, his personal best, and the second-best in the tournament's history after Björn Borg in 1978. Nadal won this event without losing a set for the third time, thereby tying with Borg for this Grand Slam record. Novak Djokovic was the defending champion, but was defeated by Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals. Djokovic was attempting to become the first male player in the Open Era to achieve a double career Grand Slam. This was the first time since 2010 that Djokovic did not reach at least the semifinals at Roland Garros, and it was also the first time since 2009 that Djokovic lost a match in straight sets at Roland Garros. The hard-fought semifinal between Wawrinka and Andy Murray was notable in that it marked the end for both players at the top of the sport, as both suffered injuries that took them out of the game for months. As of the 2020 Australian Open, neither have yet made it back to a Grand Slam semi-final. Champion Rafael Nadal became the third man after Ken Rosewall and Pete Sampras to win a grand slam in his teens, twenties, and thirties. This was the last Grand Slam tournament for former World No. 12 Paul-Henri Mathieu and the last French Open appearance for former three-time quarterfinalist and World No. 9 Nicolas Almagro.
