"Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault Final Stage Begins May 24th"

If there was any doubt that the Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault is one of the biggest eSports tournaments, let's put that to rest. A staggering 515,000 players from 221 countries competed in 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches for a shot at the Final Stage. Now, eight finalists stand ready to make this an event to remember.

Reigning champion Alessandro Bianco and the first Open Qualifier winner Hizir Balkanci will be joined by Anyndia Lestari, Omer Feder, Adjua Thembisa Boucher, Eugen Mosdir, Bartu Yildirim, and Samuel Sanin Ortiz. They are set to clash in an intense showdown on May 24th at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum.

Adding to the excitement, this year's format promises to be electrifying. The eight finalists will be divided into two teams, each led by a tennis legend. Former ATP world Number 6, Gilles Simon, who was also one of last year's finalists, will captain one team, while former Wimbledon Champion Marion Bartoli will lead the other.

The teams will compete in a series of matches, with the winners advancing to the Winner Bracket. But the action doesn't stop there; eliminated players will have a second chance in the Loser Bracket, where teams dissolve, and only one will be crowned the Roland-Garros eSeries champion.

Keeping the audience entertained will be Samuel Etienne, a renowned French personality and Twitch streamer with over 1 million followers. He will be joined by esports expert Quento and former Tennis Clash number 1, Benny, also known as GP365. The tournament will be brought to life in the spirit of Roland-Garros, featuring a replica of the iconic Philippe-Chatrier court and custom outfits. Esteemed French umpire Aurélie Tourte will officiate what promises to be a series of thrilling matches.

250 spectators will be in attendance at the auditorium, and the event will also be broadcast live on Samuel Etienne’s Twitch channel and the Roland-Garros YouTube channel at 4pm CEST. Viewers can watch every match and enjoy interactive segments, with special guests engaging in passionate discussions and having fun around the worlds of tennis and eTennis.
