Gastón Gaudio (ranked 44th) won in the final 0–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–1, 8–6 against Guillermo Coria to capture the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2004 French Open. Gaudio became the first Argentine player to win a major since Guillermo Vilas in the 1979 Australian Open. Juan Carlos Ferrero was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Igor Andreev, his first loss at the event prior to the semifinals.

This was the first Grand Slam tournament in which Roger Federer competed as No. 1. He lost in the third round to former No. 1 and three-time champion Gustavo Kuerten in what would be Federer’s last pre-quarterfinal exit from a major until his second round loss to Sergiy Stakhovsky in the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, a run of 36 quarterfinals (or better) in a row. Until the 2020 US Open, this was the last Grand Slam without any of the Big Three players in the quarterfinals. This was also the most recent French Open tournament not to feature future thirteen-time champion Rafael Nadal, who withdrew prior to the tournament due to an ankle injury sustained in Estoril tournament in mid-April.

Until the 2017 Australian Open, this would be the last Grand Slam event where the top two seeds would fail to reach the quarterfinals of a major. With Federer's loss to Kuerten, number two seed Andy Roddick also lost in the second round to Olivier Mutis.

The first round match between Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clément was the longest match of the Open Era in 6 hours and 33 minutes under two days. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut would break this record at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships.

Until the 2020 US Open, this was both the last Grand Slam in which none of the semi-finalists had previously won a Grand Slam singles tournament, and the last Grand Slam final in which the winner came back from trailing two sets to love; this was also the most recent French Open final to be decided in five sets.

This was also the last time until the 2019 Wimbledon Championships that the winner had to save a match point in a championship final.
