Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault Reveals Elite Eight Finalists

The championship will see reigning titleholder Alessandro Bianco compete against seven top contenders on May 24th in an innovative team format captained by tennis legends.

Global Competition Narrows to Eight Elite Players

The scale of Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault speaks volumes about its growing eSports prestige. This season's tournament attracted 515,000 competitors from 221 nations, who played an astounding 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches during qualifying rounds.

The final eight includes defending champion Alessandro Bianco alongside Open Qualifier winner Hizir Balkanci, with Anyndia Lestari, Omer Feder, Adjua Thembisa Boucher, Eugen Mosdir, Bartu Yildirim and Samuel Sanin Ortiz completing the elite roster. Their digital battle will unfold live at the historic Roland-Garros Tenniseum.

Legendary Captains Elevate Tournament Format

This year introduces an electrifying new structure, with competitors divided into two teams mentored by tennis greats. Former ATP star and 2022 finalist Gilles Simon (world #6) captains one squad, while Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli leads the opposing team.

The format features intense team matchups, with victors advancing to the Winner Bracket. Even eliminated players get redemption chances through the Loser Bracket, where individual competitors battle for the ultimate title.

Star-Studded Broadcast Experience

French media personality Samuel Etienne (1M+ Twitch followers) hosts the event alongside esports analyst Quento and former Tennis Clash top player Benny (GP365). The production recreates Roland-Garros magic with a virtual Philippe-Chatrier court and custom player outfits, with professional umpire Aurélie Tourte officiating matches.

The finale welcomes 250 live spectators and streams globally at 4pm CEST on Etienne's Twitch channel and Roland-Garros YouTube. Viewers can expect immersive match coverage, expert analysis, and entertaining discussions bridging tennis and esports cultures.
