For the second consecutive year, Federer had a chance to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four major titles at once, having won the previous year's Wimbledon and US Open, and this year's 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 (including their 2005 semifinal encounter). Novak Djokovic, who would go on to hold all four major titles at once at the 2016 French Open, made his first major semifinal at this event.

Federer reached a record-breaking eighth consecutive major final appearance (streak starting at the 2005 Wimbledon Championships), surpassing Jack Crawford's record of 7 consecutive finals, reached between 1933 and 1934.
