Rafael Nadal successfully defended his title by defeating Roger Federer in the final 1–6, 6–1, 6–4, 7–6(7–4), to win the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2006 French Open. This was Federer's first defeat in a Grand Slam final. He had had the chance to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Grand Slam tournaments at once, having won the preceding Wimbledon, U.S. Open and Australian Open titles. This feat would ultimately be achieved a decade later by Novak Djokovic, at the same tournament, who here reached the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam for the first time.

Three-time defending champion Roger Federer won his 4th straight US Open title defeating Novak Djokovic in the final 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–2), 6–4 to capture the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2007 US Open. It was Federer's 12th Grand Slam title overall and his third out of three years in which he won three of the four majors in a single calendar season. Also, he reached a record-equalling 14th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance, after Roy Emerson and Ivan Lendl.

Three-time defending champion Rafael Nadal retained his title by defeating Roger Federer in the final with a dominant 6–1, 6–3, 6–0 at the 2008 French Open. This marks Federer's worst loss at a Grand Slam match in his entire career. It also marked the third consecutive year that Nadal defeated Federer in the Roland Garros final, and the fourth consecutive year that Nadal defeated Federer at Roland Garros, starting with his 2005 Roland Garros semifinal defeat. On all four occasions that Nadal had won the French Open, he defeated Federer while Federer was the No. 1 player in the world. Nadal won the title without losing a set, becoming the third man in the Open era after Ilie Năstase and Björn Borg to do so. He would later replicate this feat in 2010, 2017, and 2020.
