Defending champion Rafael Nadal defeated Dominic Thiem in the final, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2018 French Open. It was his record-extending eleventh French Open title and 17th major title overall. Nadal equaled Margaret Court's all-time record of 11 singles titles won at one major and became the first player to achieve that feat in the Open Era.^[1][2] He lost only one set during the tournament, and retained the world No. 1 singles ranking. Nadal and Roger Federer (despite having withdrawn from the clay season) were in contention for the top ranking.^[3]

With Alexander Zverev as the second seed, this was the first time since the 2006 Australian Open that a player outside of the Big Four was one of the top two seeds at a major.

Novak Djokovic was attempting to become the first man in the Open Era to achieve a double career Grand Slam, but he lost in the quarterfinals to Marco Cecchinato. Djokovic's loss ensured a first time major finalist from the bottom half of the draw; Thiem emerged to be that player, and became the first Austrian player to reach a major singles final since Thomas Muster at the 1995 French Open.

Cecchinato, ranked 72nd and having failed to win a main draw match in his four previous major appearances, became the first unseeded men's singles semifinalist at the French Open since Gaël Monfils in 2008, the lowest-ranked male singles player to reach the French Open semifinals since Andriy Medvedev in 1999, and the first Italian man to reach a major singles semifinal since Corrado Barazzutti at the 1978 French Open.^[4]
