At the French Open, he reached the third round as a wildcard, after a second-round victory against Radek Štěpánek in five sets, 3–6, 6–1, 0–6, 6–4, 6–4. He also reached the third round at Wimbledon, beating 24th seed Juan Ignacio Chela in straight sets along the way, and made the top 100 for the first time as a result. On 16 July 2007, he reached a career-best ranking of 82.

At the Japan Open, he advanced through the qualifying draw to set up a first round match with 2009 US Open champion Juan Martín del Potro. Ranked No. 189 at the time, Roger-Vasselin stunned the world No. 5, 6–4, 6–4. The match was Roger-Vasselin's first ATP Tour level victory of the season. Roger-Vasselin then defeated Austrian Jürgen Melzer to advance to the third round, where he lost to former world No. 1, Lleyton Hewitt, in straight sets.

Roger-Vasselin at 2012 US Open

In 2012, Roger-Vasselin had considerable success on the ATP Tour in doubles. He won tournaments in Montpellier, Marseille, and Metz, all partnered with Nicolas Mahut. He also made it to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time teamed with James Cerretani. They were defeated by the eventual champions Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen in five sets.

At the Delray Beach International Championships, Roger-Vasselin defeated four opponents including top seed John Isner to reach his first ATP tournament final. He lost to Ernests Gulbis for the title. In doubles, he won two titles, at the Hall of Fame Classic in Newport, Rhode Island, partnering Nicolas Mahut and in Atlanta, partnering Dutchman Igor Sijsling.

He made the semifinals in doubles at Wimbledon, partnering Rohan Bopanna.

Vasselin made a breakthrough in the indoor part of the season when he has reached semifinals of the ATP 500 event in Basel, upsetting home favorite Stan Wawrinka in the first round. He lost to Juan Martín del Potro, after winning the first set. He finished the year a career-high No. 53.

Roger-Vasselin had a good beginning to his singles campaign, reaching the final in Chennai (lost to Wawrinka). He reached the quarterfinals in Montpellier and Marseille, losing to Jerzy Janowicz and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, respectively. He also reached the quarterfinals on grass in Eastbourne, losing to Denis Istomin. The rest of his singles season was relatively disappointing.

He and doubles partner Julien Benneteau, however, had a very successful season. They reached the semifinals in Sydney, being eliminated by Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjić. At the Australian Open, they went down in the round of 16 to Max Mirnyi and Mikhail Youzhny. They had another semifinal showing in Rotterdam, losing to Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecău.

The pair won the title in Marseille in February, beating Paul Hanley and Jonathan Marray in the final. Another quarterfinal followed in Acapulco, where they lost to Treat Huey and Dominic Inglot. Then, they went out in the round of 16 in both Indian Wells and Miami. The pair made another quarterfinal, this time at a Masters 1000 event, in Monte Carlo, losing to the Bryan brothers. They followed this up with a semifinal appearance in Nice.

The highlight of the season and of his career was the 2014 French Open title, which he and Benneteau won against the Spanish pair of Marcel Granollers and Marc López.

On grass, they made the semifinals of the Queen's Club tournament, losing to Jamie Murray and John Peers. They followed this up with a quarterfinal appearance at 2014 Wimbledon Championships, where they lost to the French pair of Michaël Llodra and Nicolas Mahut.

On the hard-court North American swing, they reached the quarterfinals (l. to Nestor and Zimonjić) in Toronto, and the semifinals in Cincinnati (l. to Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sock). In Shanghai, they reached the final, losing again to the Bryan brothers.

He qualified for the first time and reached the semifinals at the 2014 ATP World Tour Finals with Benneteau.

He won his maiden Masters title in Cincinnati partnering Daniel Nestor.

He reached the 2020 ATP Finals partnering Jürgen Melzer in what was the last final of Melzer's career.

At Indian Wells, Roger-Vasselin and partner Santiago González advanced to the finals of the Masters 1000 series event, losing to John Isner and Jack Sock. In doing so, Roger-Vasselin became just the second player to reach a Masters 1000 final after major hip surgery. Roger-Vasselin, who had hip surgery in 2021, joined Bob Bryan in this select category. Both Roger-Vasselin and Gonzáles and the Bryan brothers were coached by Dave Marshall during those runs.

With Rohan Bopanna during the 2018 French Open

Unseeded he reached his sixth Masters final at the 2023 Miami Open with Santiago González (tennis) after defeating Americans Jackson Withrow and Nathaniel Lammons. He won his second Masters title defeating Nicolas Mahut and Austin Krajicek. In August, he won the 2023 Los Cabos Open, his twenty-sixth title also with S. González.

In October, he won the 2023 Basel Open, his twenty-seventh title. On 2 November, Roger-Vasselin qualified with S. González for the 2023 ATP Finals for the third time in his career. He won the title at the 2023 Rolex Paris Masters with González defeating Bopanna/Ebden.

Edouard Roger-Vasselin and new partner Hugo Nys reached the final at the 2025 Grand Prix Hassan II. At the next tournament, the 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters, they defeated Jamie Murray and Rajeev Ram to advance to the round of 16. They lost to fourth seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in a close match tiebreak.
