The 21-year-old Spaniard becomes the youngest player to make grand slam finals on all three surfaces; hard-court, grass and the clay of Paris.
Carlos Alcaraz twice came from a set down to sink Jannik Sinner and reach his first French Open final.
Alcaraz, who won both his previous grand slam finals, at the US Open and Wimbledon, said: “You have to find the joy in suffering, that’s the key, even more on clay in Roland Garros. Long rallies, four-hour matches, five sets, you have to suffer. But you have to enjoy suffering. Yet there was little of the intensity of their five hour, five-set marathon at the US Open in 2022, which was won by Alcaraz at 2.50am, as they shared the opening two sets.
Alcaraz broke again for 2-0 in the decider and held his nerve up the home straight, taking a third match point before raising both arms in triumph.
