Defending champion Gustavo Kuerten defeated Àlex Corretja in the final, 6–7, 7–5, 6–2, 6–0 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2001 French Open. It was his third French Open title and his third and last major title overall. Kuerten saved a match point en route to the title, against Michael Russell in the fourth round.

This tournament marked the first time that future world No. 1 and 20-time major champion Roger Federer reached a major quarterfinal. He would go on to win the title eight years later.

This was the last major to feature only 16 seeds.
