French Open Men's Singles Last Ten Winners
Here's a table showing the last ten French Open Men's winners including the beaten finalist and set score:
| Year | Champion (WR) | Runner Up (WR) | Set Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Rafael Nadal (5) | Casper Ruud (8) | 3-0 |
| 2021 | Novak Djokovic (1) | Stefanos Tsitsipas (5) | 3-2 |
| 2020 | Rafael Nadal (2) | Novak Djokovic (1) | 3-0 |
| 2019 | Rafael Nadal (2) | Dominic Thiem (4) | 3-1 |
| 2018 | Rafael Nadal (1) | Dominic Thiem (8) | 3-0 |
| 2017 | Rafael Nadal (4) | Stan Wawrinka (3) | 3-0 |
| 2016 | Novak Djokovic (1) | Andy Murray (2) | 3-1 |
| 2015 | Stan Wawrinka (9) | Novak Djokovic (1) | 3-1 |
| 2014 | Rafael Nadal (1) | Novak Djokovic (2) | 3-1 |
| 2013 | Rafael Nadal (4) | David Ferrer (5) | 3-0 |
A near dominance for Rafael Nadal having won the French Open title on fourteen occasions since 2005, the blank years were 2009 (4th round defeat to Robin Soderling), 2015 (Quarter Final defeat to Novak Djokovic), he withdrew with an injury after the second round in 2016 and a semi final defeat to Novak Djokovic in 2021.
- No player outside the top 9 in the world has made the French Open final in the last ten years.
- Seven finals were contested by players both ranked in the top 5 in the world.
So finding an each way long shot to make the final outside of the world's top ten would have been largely fruitless.

French Open Ladies Singles Last Ten Winners
Here's a table showing the last ten French Open Ladies winners including the beaten finalist and set score:
| Year | Champion (WR) | Runner Up (WR) | Set Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Iga Swiatek (1) | Coco Gauff (23) | 2-0 |
| 2021 | Barbora Krejcikova (33) | A. Pavlyuchenkova (32) | 2-1 |
| 2020 | Iga Swiatek (54) | Sofia Kenin (6) | 2-0 |
| 2019 | Ashleigh Barty (8) | Marketa Vondrousova (38) | 2-0 |
| 2018 | Simona Halep (1) | Sloane Stephens (10) | 2-1 |
| 2017 | Jelena Ostapenko (47) | Simona Halep (4) | 2-1 |
| 2016 | Garbine Muguruza (4) | Serena Williams (1) | 2-0 |
| 2015 | Serena Williams (1) | Lucie Safarova (13) | 2-1 |
| 2014 | Maria Sharapova (8) | Simona Halep (4) | 2-1 |
| 2013 | Serena Williams (1) | Maria Sharapova (2) | 2-0 |
Despite Maria Sharapova (2012 & 2014), Serena Williams (2013 & 2015) and Iga Swiatek (2020 & 2022) all winning two French Open titles since 2012, no lady has managed to retain a French Open title since Justine Henin in 2007.
Interesting to note the better ranked player of the two finalists has won only five of the last ten finals, we have seen Jelena Ostapenko win in 2017 ranked just inside the top 50, Marketa Vondrousova make the final in 2019 when ranked just inside the top 40 and 2020 saw world number 54 Iga Swiatek stun the tennis world with a straight sets win over Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin. The 2021 final saw Barbora Krejcikova ranked 33 defeat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova ranked 32.
- Two winners since 2017 had previously progressed no further than the 2nd round at the French Open, Ostapenko had not made it past the 1st round.
- Predicting the finalists has been a little tricky with just four of the last ten finals contested by two players in the current top ten in the world.

Here is a chart showing how the French Open Ladies Singles winner has performed at these three clay court tournaments in the current season prior to winning here:

| 2017 | Ostapenko | 2R | DNP | 1R |
| 2016 | Muguruza | SF | 2R | QF |
| 2015 | S. Williams | 3R (ret.) | SF | DNP |
| 2014 | Sharapova | 3R | W | W |

W = Won, RU = Runner Up, SF = Semi Final, QF = Quarter Final, 2R = 2nd Round, n/a = no tournament, DNP = Did Not Play, ret. = retirement
