Mats Wilander defeated Guillermo Vilas in the final, 1–6, 7–6^(8–6), 6–0, 6–4 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1982 French Open. It was his first major title and first top-level title overall. He had won the boys’ title only the previous year, and was making his first main-draw French Open appearance. He defeated four of the top-five seeded players consecutively to win the title (second seed Ivan Lendl, fifth seed Vitas Gerulaitis, fourth seed José Luis Clerc, and third seed Vilas).

Björn Borg was the four-time reigning champion, but chose not to participate after the Men's Tennis Council ruled he had not played enough tournaments and would have to qualify.^[1] World No. 1 John McEnroe withdrew with an ankle injury.
