Find out who has made the most men's and women's singles French Open finals in the Open Era.
Most men's French Open finals
Rafael Nadal - 14 finals
The King of Clay, Rafael Nadal's impeccable record on the clay courts of Roland Garros is unlikely to ever be matched. The Spaniard boasts an 112-4 record at the French Open and has emerged victorious in each of his 14 final appearances.
Novak Djokovic - 7 finals
Defeated in three finals, it was fourth time lucky for Novak Djokovic in the 2016 French Open as he claimed the one major that had evaded him.
The Serbian would suffer one more loss in a final before adding a second and third French Open title to his collection in 2021 and 2023.
Bjorn Borg - 6 finals
Bjorn Borg came from two sets down to conquer Manuel Orantes in the 1974 French Open final and he successfully defended his title in the subsequent year against Guillermo Vilas.
Borg triumphed again in 1978 and claimed the clay major four years running with victories over Vilas, Victor Pecci, Vitas Gerulaitas and Ivan Lendl.
Most women's French Open finals
Chris Evert - 9 finals
Winning seven titles across a 13-year period, Chris Evert holds the record for most French Open women's singles titles in the Open Era.
Evert suffered defeat in her first French Open final to Margaret Court but bounced back the year after, winning five titles by 1983 before she was beaten in straight sets by Martina Navratilova in the 1984 final.
The American avenged the defeat to her compatriot by defeating her in the next two French Open finals.
Steffi Graf - 9 finals
The end of Evert's period of dominance marked the start of Steffi Graf's supremacy with the German star featuring in six of the seven finals from 1987 onwards, winning three.
Graf then defeated Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in the 1995 and 1996 showpieces before claiming her sixth French Open title in 1999.
Martina Navratilova - 6 finals
Martina Navratilova has a losing record in French Open finals having only won the clay major on two occasions.
Defeated in her first final by Evert in 1975, Navratilova was triumphant in 1982 and 1984 before suffering three consecutive final defeats at Roland Garros from 1985 to 1987.
Arantxa Sánchez Vicario - 6 finals
Arantxa Sánchez Vicario ended Graf's hopes of a three-peat in 1989 to win her maiden Grand Slam title and she won the French Open on two more occasions, in 1994 and 1998.
Sandwiched between her second and third French Open successes were two of her three final defeats to Steffi Graf in 1995 and 1996.
