The French could not take his revenge against the Greek, who had already beaten him in Halle ten days earlier with a tighter score 7-6 (7/1), 1-6, 6-3.
The 26-year-old from Nîmes, who said he had "a good week", after his success over Daniel Altmaier in the quarter-finals on Thursday, will now focus on Wimbledon where he will face Zdenek Kolar, a draft, in the first round.
As for Tsitsipas he will face in the final in Mallorca on Saturday Roberto Bautista (20th in the world), who beat the Swiss Antoine Bellier (No. 303) 7-6 (7/5), 6-2.
The 23-year-old Greek will play his fourth final of the year but his first on grass, having failed in the quarter-final against Murray in Sttutgart and in the round of 16 against Kyrgios in Halle earlier this month.
"I'm happy, I played well," said the sixth player in the world after his success, he who was placed in the same part of the table as Wimbledon 2021 finalist Matteo Berrettini, in the grand slam draw Londoner.
"I have already made a final (in Lyon in 2021) in a tournament which preceded a Grand Slam (Roland-Garros). In the sequence of matches in Paris, that helped me. This time it's a different surface so we'll see," he continued, not worried about leaving energy behind this week.
