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

The Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault has unveiled its eight finalists, cementing its status as one of the premier esports tournaments. An astounding 515,000 players from 221 countries participated in a staggering 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches to secure a spot in the Final Stage. This fierce competition has culminated in an unforgettable event featuring the crème de la crème of virtual tennis.

Reigning champion Alessandro Bianco, alongside 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 players are set to clash on May 24th at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum, promising an electrifying showdown.

This year's tournament format is set to ignite excitement with the finalists divided into two teams, each led by a tennis legend. Former ATP world Number 6, Gilles Simon, who was also one of 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 winners advancing to the Winner Bracket. However, the competition doesn't end for the eliminated players, as they will have a chance to redeem themselves in the Loser Bracket, where teams dissolve, and only one will emerge as the Roland-Garros eSeries champion.

Adding to the spectacle, renowned French personality and Twitch streamer Samuel Etienne, boasting over 1 million Twitch followers, will entertain viewers. He will be joined by esports expert Quento and former Tennis Clash number 1 Benny, aka GP365. The tournament will be brought to life with a replica of the iconic Philippe-Chatrier court and custom outfits, all under the watchful eye of esteemed French umpire Aurélie Tourte, ensuring a series of thrilling matches.

The event will welcome 250 spectators at the auditorium and will be broadcast live on Samuel Etienne’s Twitch and the Roland-Garros YouTube channels at 4pm CEST. Fans can watch every match and engage with interactive segments, featuring special guests who will delve into passionate discussions and bring fun to the worlds of tennis and eTennis.
