2009年の全仏オープンは、屋外のクレーコートで行われるテニストーナメントである。全仏オープンの第108回大会であり、その年の2番目のグランドスラム大会だった。 2009年5月24日から6月7日まで、フランスのパリにあるスタッド・ローラン・ギャロスで開催された。
ラファエル・ナダルとアナ・イバノビッチは前回大会の優勝者だった。両者ともタイトル防衛に失敗し、それぞれロビン・セーデルリングとビクトリア・アザレンカに4回戦で敗れた。ナダルのセーデルリングへの敗北は、 2005年のデビュー以来、この大会での初めての敗北であり、 2015年の全仏オープンまで、この大会での唯一の敗北となった。セーデルリングは決勝までニコライ・ダビデンコとフェルナンド・ゴンサレスを破り、決勝でロジャー・フェデラーに敗れた。フェデラーは全仏オープンで優勝し、当時ピート・サンプラスのグランドスラム14勝の記録に並び、この大会で優勝してキャリアグランドスラムを達成した。彼は過去3回の決勝でナダルに敗れていた。2006年にジュスティーヌ・エナン＝ハーデンヌに次いで準優勝したスベトラーナ・クズネツォワが今年の女子チャンピオンとなった。彼女は決勝で世界ランキング1位のディナラ・サフィナを破り、 2008年の準決勝で同じ相手に敗れた雪辱を果たした。
4度の優勝経験を持つラファエル・ナダルは、 2005年のデビュー以来、全仏オープンのシングルスで無敗を誇り、今大会に臨んだ。5月27日の2回戦でロシアのテイムラズ・ガバシュビリに勝利したことで、ナダルは30連勝を達成し、男女を通じてクリス・エバートが保持していた全仏オープン最長連勝記録（29連勝）を更新した。ナダルは5月29日にレイトン・ヒューイットを破り、この記録を31連勝に伸ばした。
5月31日の4回戦で、ナダルは世界ランキング23位のロビン・セーデルリングに2-6、7-6、4-6、6-7の4セットで敗れた。[ 1 ] [ 2 ]この番狂わせの結果、ナダルの全仏オープン連勝記録は31試合で途絶えた。セーデルリングはこれまでグランドスラム大会で4回戦に進出したことはなく、2007年のウィンブルドンで5セットまでもつれ込んだものの、ナダルに3度挑戦して勝ったこともなかった。セーデルリングはその後決勝に進出し、ニコライ・ダビデンコをストレートセットで、フェルナンド・ゴンサレスを5セットで破ったが、自身初のグランドスラム決勝でロジャー・フェデラーに敗れた。
番狂わせの結果について、全仏オープンで3度優勝したマッツ・ビランデルは、「誰もがショックを受けていると思う。いつかはナダルが負けるだろうと思っていた。しかし、今日、そしておそらく今年、それが起こるとは誰も予想していなかった。今は、優勝すべき大会があるということだ」と述べた。[ 3 ]ナダルは翌年、再び連勝を始め、2015年の全仏オープンでノバク・ジョコビッチに敗れるまで、この大会で再び負けることはなかった。
深刻な肩の怪我のため、2008年の北京オリンピック、2008年の全米オープン、そして全豪オープンのタイトル防衛を欠場せざるを得なかったマリア・シャラポワは、エントリーリストが発表された時点で世界ランキング53位だったが、競技から離れている間に世界ランキング126位まで急落し、大会開始時には世界ランキング102位で大会に臨み、準々決勝に進出して多くの人を驚かせたが、そこでドミニカ・チブルコバに6-0、6-2で敗れた（シャラポワは0-6、0-5でマッチポイントを守らなければならなかった）。2003年以来初めてグランドスラムでノーシードとなったシャラポワは、最初の4試合すべてを3セットで勝利していた。
ロジャー・フェデラーは決勝でロビン・セーデルリングを破り、ナダルに過去3回の決勝で敗れた後、ついにキャリア初の全仏オープン優勝を果たした。この勝利により、彼はキャリアグランドスラム、つまり四大大会すべてで優勝するという偉業を達成した。彼はオープン化時代において（ロッド・レーバーとアンドレ・アガシに次いで） 3人目、テニス史上では6人目の快挙を成し遂げた男子選手となった。
Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan became the first male winner at this year's French Open. French favourites Julie Coin and Mathieu Montcourt enjoyed safe passages through to the second round, but compatriot Mathilde Johansson was unable to use the crowd's advantage, falling to Vitalia Diatchenko 2–6, 6–2, 10–8. Lleyton Hewitt came from 2 tiebreak sets down, taking a third set tiebreak and eventually the match over the 26th seeded CroatIvo Karlović, winning 6–7(1), 6–7(4), 7–6(4), 6–4, 6–3, to cause the first upset of a seed in the tournament. Karlovic set the new record for the greatest number of aces in the match, serving 55, but couldn't find a way to win.[4] French wildcardJosselin Ouanna came from two sets to one behind to defeat Marcel Granollers, 7–5, 2–6, 3–6, 7–6(2), 6–1. However, Amélie Mauresmo lost to Anna-Lena Grönefeld 6–4, 6–3, to add to her history of early-round exits at Roland Garros. However, seventh seed Gilles Simon recovered from a tight clash with Wayne Odesnik, 4–6, 7–5, 6–2, 4–6, 6–3. Former French Open champion Gastón Gaudio made a disappointing start to his grand slam comeback, losing in straight sets to Radek Štěpánek 6–3, 6–4, 6–1.

French wildcardGuillaume Rufin, who turned 19 on day 3, upset Eduardo Schwank, who reached the second week last year, 6–1, 6–3, 6–3 to the delight of French fans. However, fans were disappointed to see their Nicolas Devilder fall in five sets (despite holding a two sets to love lead) to seventeenth seed Stanislas Wawrinka, 6–3, 5–7, 2–6, 6–4, 6–4. More disappointment came when Romain Jouan, another wildcard, fell 6–2, 6–4, 6–2 to sixth seed Andy Roddick. However, more good news for American fans followed when Fed Cup heroine Alexa Glatch stunned Flavia Pennetta 6–1, 6–1, to advance to the second round. Kateryna Bondarenko upset Patty Schnyder, and 13th seed Marion Bartoli recovered in an all-French affair to beat Pauline Parmentier 3–6, 6–1, 6–3.

Seeds Nikolay Davydenko, Robin Söderling, and Zheng Jie also advanced. Another of the day's upsets came at the hands Colombia's Mariana Duque Mariño, who beat former Top 5 player and 26th seeded Russia's Anna Chakvetadze, winning 3–6, 6–4, 6–4.

All French seeds came through unscathed with victories for Marion Bartoli, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Paul-Henri Mathieu and Gaël Monfils. The United States' hopes of having a French Open champion took a big blow as James Blake and Mardy Fish both lost to Argentinian opponents. Fish lost to Máximo González 6–3, 1–6, 6–4, 7–6(4), and Blake, the highest seed to fall on Day 3, was beaten convincingly by Argentinian qualifier Leonardo Mayer 7–6(6), 7–5, 6–2.

Peng ShuaiDay 4 saw the start of the second round matches in both the men's and women's draws. The first match up on Court Philippe Chatrier was world number 3 Andy Murray, who he faced Italian world number 104 Potito Starace. Murray was made to work hard, as Starace took control of the tie and levelled the match at one set all. At 5–1 in the third set, Murray worked his way back to reel of 6 games in a row, and went on the win 6–3, 2–6, 7–5, 6–4. World number 1 Dinara Safina was first up on Court Suzanne Lenglen, and made light work of Vitalia Diatchenko, winning 6–1, 6–1.

Another Frenchwoman, Aravane Rezaï beat Slovenian qualifier Polona Hercog to book a tie with Portuguese qualifier Michelle Larcher de Brito in the third round, who beat number 15 seed Zheng Jie earlier in the day. Unseeded Maria Sharapova faced number 11 seed Nadia Petrova in her first match against a top 20 player since her 10-month absence from the tour due to injury. A gutsy Sharapova came through with a 3 sets victory, 8–6 in the third. Gilles Simon was the only seeded Frenchman playing on day 4, and made swift work of American Robert Kendrick 7–5, 6–0, 6–1. Defending champion Rafael Nadal made history by becoming the first person to win 30 consecutive matches at Roland Garros by beating Teymuraz Gabashvili. French wildcard Josselin Ouanna caused perhaps the biggest upset of the day by beating number 20 seed Marat Safin in an epic five set match, in which he won the final set 10–8.

Day 5 got off to a slow start from a French perspective, as number 13 seed and home favourite Marion Bartoli succumbed to Tathiana Garbin of Italy in straight sets on Court Philippe Chatrier. And the day got worse for France as number 21 seed Alizé Cornet could not find her way past Romanian teenager Sorana Cîrstea. However, they did have some consolation, as Virginie Razzano navigated her way past Anabel Medina Garrigues, and booked a place in the third round to play Bartoli conqueror Garbin. On Court Suzanne Lenglen, Serb Jelena Janković had little problem in seeing off Slovakian opponent Magdaléna Rybáriková, 6–1, 6–2.

There were also victories for Elena Dementieva, Agnieszka Radwańska, former finalist Svetlana Kuznetsova and 2002 champion Serena Williams.
Meanwhile, in the men's draw, Roger Federer was first up on Court Philippe Chatrier as he faced clay court specialist José Acasuso. Roger narrowly won the first set 7–6(8) in a first set tie-break, but Acasuso was not ready to falter, and came back stronger in the second set and eventually winning 7–5. Acasuso continued to put up strong resistance and took Federer to a third set tie-break, however Federer was too strong and won, from thereon Federer had little problem dispatching Acasuso winning the match 7–6(8), 5–7, 7–6(2), 6–2. Federer's victory set him up with a third round tie with FrenchmanPaul-Henri Mathieu. After disappointed from the French ladies, the men did not disappoint.

The men's singles final was briefly interrupted as Jimmy Jump carrying a FC Barcelona banner ran onto the court during the second set, running around Roger Federer and even putting a cap on him, then jumping over the net before being taken out by security. This is the first time this has ever happened at the French Open, however the occurrence did not seem to throw off Federer, as he won the set, and eventually the match. Federer also completed a career Grand Slam and tied Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam titles after winning the French Open.[19]
