The 2005 French Open was the 104th edition of the tournament. Rafael Nadal was a strong favourite after winning the Rome and Monte Carlo Masters, with Guillermo Coria, last years finalist and defeated finalist in Monaco, calling Nadal the best clay-court player in the world prior to the tournament. Justine Henin-Hardenne became the first Belgian to win a Grand Slam tournament.
