Juan Carlos Ferrero defeated Martin Verkerk in the final, 6–1, 6–3, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2003 French Open.[1] It was his only major singles title.

Albert Costa was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Ferrero in a rematch of the previous year's final.

This tournament marked the final major appearance of former world No. 1 Marcelo Ríos, who retired in the first round against Mario Ančić. This also marked the final French Open appearance for 1989 champion Michael Chang; he lost in the first round to Fabrice Santoro.
