Both Nadal and Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. By winning his semifinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic gained the world No. 1 ranking for the first time, which marked the first time that neither Federer nor Nadal was ranked No. 1 since 2 February 2004. Djokovic would go on to hold the ranking for an all-time record 412 weeks. This was also the first time since 2002 that neither Roger Federer nor Nadal won the title.
This event marked the last major appearance of two-time French Open finalist Robin Söderling, as he would later be diagnosed with mononucleosis and eventually retire from tennis.
