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

The excitement surrounding the Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault is palpable as the eight finalists have now been announced. With a staggering 515,000 players from 221 countries competing in 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches, the journey to the Final Stage has been nothing short of spectacular. The competition culminates with reigning champion Alessandro Bianco, along with first Open Qualifier winner Hizir Balkanci, and other talented finalists Anyndia Lestari, Omer Feder, Adjua Thembisa Boucher, Eugen Mosdir, Bartu Yildirim, and Samuel Sanin Ortiz, ready to battle it out on May 24th at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum.

This year's tournament promises to be even more thrilling with a unique format. 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 lead the other. The teams will compete in a series of matches, with the victors advancing to the Winner Bracket. Meanwhile, those who are eliminated will have a chance to redeem themselves in the Loser Bracket, where the team structure dissolves, and only one player can emerge as the Roland-Garros eSeries champion.

Adding to the excitement, the event will be hosted by the renowned French personality and Twitch streamer Samuel Etienne, who boasts over 1 million followers. He will be joined by esports expert Quento and former Tennis Clash number 1, Benny (aka GP365). The tournament will be set against the backdrop of a meticulously recreated Philippe-Chatrier court, complete with custom outfits, embodying the spirit of Roland-Garros. Esteemed French umpire Aurélie Tourte will officiate what is sure to be a series of riveting matches.

An audience of 250 spectators will be present at the auditorium, and the event will be broadcast live on Samuel Etienne’s Twitch channel and the Roland-Garros YouTube channel, starting at 4pm CEST. Viewers can look forward to watching every match and enjoying interactive segments, with special guests contributing to passionate discussions and fun-filled interactions around the worlds of tennis and eTennis.
