Three-time defending champion Rafael Nadal defeated David Ferrer in the final, 6–3, 6–2, 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2013 French Open. It was his record-extending eighth French Open title and his twelfth major title overall. With the win, Nadal recorded his 59th French Open match win, surpassing the previous record held by Guillermo Vilas and Roger Federer (who equaled Vilas' record with his fourth round win but lost in the quarterfinals). Nadal also became the first man in history to win any major eight times, and tied Roy Emerson for the third-most major titles of all time. He also equaled Max Decugis, who won eight titles at this event when it was only open to French club members.^{[citation needed]}

In the semifinal encounter between Nadal and Novak Djokovic, they played a notable 4 hour, 37 minute match. It was dubbed by some commentators as the best clay court match ever, and one of the greatest matches ever played;^[1] Nadal outlasted Djokovic to win 6–4, 3–6, 6–1, 6–7^(3–7), 9–7.^[2]

Federer was attempting to become the first man in the Open Era to achieve a double career Grand Slam, but he lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals. With his loss, a new French Open finalist was guaranteed from the bottom half of the draw; Ferrer emerged to become that player.^[3] This created the first all-Spanish major final since 2002, and the first occasion since 2004 that two compatriots contested a major final.^[4]

Despite the victory, Nadal dropped one place down the rankings to world No. 5 following Ferrer's run to the final.^[5][6][7]
