This is the list in chronological order of the Grand Slam men's singles finals in the Open Era of tennis.
- Notes: a name in yellow indicates that it's the player's first ever (open era) Grand Slam title and player seedings are shown in (), unseeded players are blank.
All countrymen in final (Open era)
Only seven countries (Australia, United States, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Spain, Argentina) have had two countrymen play in a Grand Slam final. The last time that happened was at the 2013 French Open (Nadal vs. Ferrer, Spain).
Seeded finals(Open Era)
The number 1 and number 2 seeds have met in the finals on 39 different occasions, with 21 wins going to the number 2 seeds edging the 18 wins for number 1 seeded players. Also for 31 consecutive slams the finals were between seeded players, this is the longest run of seeded finals to date and occurred between, and including, the 1986 Wimbledon Championships and the 1994 Australian Open. Currently 21 consecutive finals have been between seeded players, 2008 French Open-present, and in the current age this looks unlikely to be broken soon.
