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

The Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault has officially unveiled its eight finalists, confirming its status as a premier eSports event. With a staggering 515,000 players from 221 countries engaging in over 9.5 million matches on Tennis Clash, the competition has been fierce. The Final Stage promises to be an unforgettable spectacle.

Reigning champion Alessandro Bianco will defend his title against a talented field including Hizir Balkanci, winner of the first Open Qualifier, alongside Anyndia Lestari, Omer Feder, Adjua Thembisa Boucher, Eugen Mosdir, Bartu Yildirim, and Samuel Sanin Ortiz. The showdown is scheduled for May 24th at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum.

Adding to the excitement, the tournament introduces an electrifying format this year. The finalists will be divided into two teams, each led by a tennis legend. Gilles Simon, 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 winners advancing to the Winner Bracket. Meanwhile, eliminated players will have a chance to redeem themselves in the Loser Bracket, where teams break up and the competition becomes an individual battle for the coveted title of Roland-Garros eSeries champion.

Ensuring an engaging viewing experience, 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 (aka GP365). The tournament will be set in a recreated Roland-Garros atmosphere, featuring a replica of the iconic Philippe-Chatrier court and custom outfits. Esteemed French umpire Aurélie Tourte will officiate the matches, adding to the authenticity and thrill.

The event will accommodate 250 spectators at the auditorium and will be broadcast live on Samuel Etienne’s Twitch channel and the Roland-Garros YouTube channel at 4pm CEST.
