2007 French Open – Men's singles

2007 French Open 2007 French Open ESP Rafael Nadal SUI Roger Federer 6–3, 4–6, 6–3, 6–4 Two-time defending champion Rafael Nadal defeated Roger Federer in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–3, 4–6, 6–3, 6–4 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2007 French Open.Nadal retains title https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/french-open/2007/_sto1208650/story.shtml eurosport.com 12 February 2024 It was his third French Open title and third major title overall. For the second consecutive year, Federer was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam and to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four major titles at once, having won the preceding Wimbledon Championships, US Open, and Australian Open. It was the second of three consecutive years Nadal and Federer would contest the French Open final, and the third of four consecutive years they would meet at the event (extending back to the 2005 semifinals). Novak Djokovic, who would go on to hold all four major titles at once at the 2016 French Open, reached his first major semifinal at this event. Federer made a record-breaking eighth consecutive major final appearance (streak starting at the 2005 Wimbledon Championships), surpassing Jack Crawford's record of seven consecutive finals, reached between 1933 and 1934.
