Sinner, the world no 1, is playing in his first major since his three-month suspension after he tested positive for clostebol, a banned substance.
Before that, Alcaraz profited from Lorenzo Musetti retiring injured during their fourth set, having dropped the first before roaring back to take the second and third on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
The men’s final will cap off a remarkable fortnight of tennis in Paris, with the women’s event reaching its conclusion on Saturday as Aryna Sabalenka faces Coco Gauff.
The 22-year-old Spaniard currently leads the head to head by seven wins to four, having won four meetings in a row, in the recent Italian Open final, last year’s epic five-set French Open semi-final and in a dramatic China Open final in October, plus the semi-finals at Indian Wells in 2024.
Sinner has not dropped a set en route to the final, blowing away every opponent that has stood in his way, including Alexander Bublik, Jack Draper’s conqueror, in the quarter-finals.
Alcaraz has had a trickier time of it, losing four sets before this encounter, but he has not been forced into a marathon five-setter all tournament.
