If you ever doubted the scale of the Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault, let's put those doubts to rest. A staggering 515,000 players from 221 countries competed in a whopping 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches, all vying for a spot in the Final Stage. The excitement culminates with the announcement of the eight finalists who will battle it out in a memorable event.
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. These elite competitors will clash on May 24th at the prestigious Roland-Garros Tenniseum.
Adding to the thrill, the tournament format this year is set to electrify fans. The eight finalists will be divided into two teams, each led by a tennis legend. Former ATP world number 6, Gilles Simon, who was among last year's finalists, will captain one team, while former Wimbledon Champion Marion Bartoli will helm the other.
The teams will engage in a series of matches, with the victors advancing to the Winner Bracket. But the competition doesn't end there; those who fall will have a chance at redemption in the Loser Bracket, where the teams dissolve, and only one can emerge as the Roland-Garros eSeries champion.
To keep the audience engaged, the charismatic Samuel Etienne, a renowned 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, also known as GP365. The tournament will be brought to life with a replica of the iconic Philippe-Chatrier court and custom outfits, capturing the spirit of Roland-Garros. Esteemed French umpire Aurélie Tourte will officiate what promises to be an exhilarating series of matches.
The event will host 250 spectators in the auditorium and will also be live-streamed on Samuel Etienne's Twitch channel and the Roland-Garros YouTube channel, starting at 4pm CEST. Viewers can watch every match and enjoy interactive segments featuring special guests who will engage in lively discussions and bring fun to the worlds of tennis and eTennis.
