The 2005 French Open was the 104th edition of the tournament. Rafael Nadal, seeded fourth in his first French Open, was a strong favorite after winning the Rome and Monte Carlo Masters, with Guillermo Coria, a 2004 finalist and runner-up in Monaco, calling Nadal the best clay-court player in the world prior to the tournament. In the women's draw, Justine Henin-Hardenne won her second French Open title, following her victory in 2003. 2005 would mark the first of three consecutive years that Justine Henin and Rafael Nadal would win the singles titles at the French Open.
