The Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault has officially unveiled its eight finalists, setting the stage for an unforgettable showdown on May 24th. With a staggering 515,000 players from 221 countries participating in a whopping 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches, the competition to reach the Final Stage was fierce. The elite group of finalists includes reigning champion Alessandro Bianco, alongside Hizir Balkanci, the victor of the first Open Qualifier. They will be joined by Anyndia Lestari, Omer Feder, Adjua Thembisa Boucher, Eugen Mosdir, Bartu Yildirim, and Samuel Sanin Ortiz, all set to clash at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum.

This year's tournament introduces an electrifying format where the eight finalists will be divided into two teams, each led by a tennis legend. Gilles Simon, a former ATP world Number 6 and a finalist from last year, 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 victors advancing to the Winner Bracket. Meanwhile, those who are defeated will have a second chance in the Loser Bracket, where individual prowess will determine who gets to vie for the title of Roland-Garros eSeries champion.

Adding to the excitement, Samuel Etienne, a prominent French personality and Twitch streamer with over 1 million followers, will host the event. He will be joined by esports expert Quento and former Tennis Clash number 1, Benny (GP365). The tournament will immerse viewers 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, ensuring a series of thrilling matches.

The event will accommodate 250 live spectators in the auditorium and will be broadcast on Samuel Etienne’s Twitch channel and the Roland-Garros YouTube channel, starting at 4pm CEST. Fans can look forward to watching every match live, along with engaging in interactive segments and enjoying passionate discussions with special guests about the worlds of tennis and eTennis.
