At 21 years old, Alcaraz became the youngest male player to win major titles on three different surfaces, having won the 2022 US Open on hardcourts and 2023 Wimbledon Championships on grass.[2][3] Zverev became the first German man to reach the final since Michael Stich in 1996.[4]

Novak Djokovic was the defending champion, but withdrew from the quarterfinals due to a knee injury.[5] His third-round match with Lorenzo Musetti marked the latest finish in tournament history, ending at 3:07 a.m. local time.[6][7] Jannik Sinner attained the ATP world No. 1 singles ranking at the end of the tournament, becoming the first Italian singles player, man or woman, to claim the top spot.[8][9]

This was the last appearance of 14-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal at a major. It was the first time since the 2005 Australian Open that Nadal was unseeded at a major, and the first time he was unseeded at the French Open. He lost to Zverev in the first round, marking the first time he lost his opening match at the French Open.[10][11][12]

This tournament also marked the final major singles appearance of two-time Olympic gold medalist, 2016 finalist, three-time major champion and former world No. 1 Andy Murray. He lost in the first round to Stan Wawrinka.
