Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault Reveals Its Eight Grand Finalists

The defending champion Alessandro Bianco will compete against 7 other elite qualifiers on May 24th in what promises to be an unforgettable showdown. This year's innovative format divides the finalists into two teams, each mentored by tennis royalty.

A Global Phenomenon Reaches Its Peak

Any doubts about the tournament's massive scale have been erased - 515,000 competitors from 221 nations played 9.5 million Tennis Clash matches during the qualification rounds. The eight who emerged victorious include reigning champion Alessandro Bianco, Open Qualifier winner Hizir Balkanci, and standout players Anyndia Lestari, Omer Feder, Adjua Thembisa Boucher, Eugen Mosdir, Bartu Yildirim, and Samuel Sanin Ortiz.

Legendary Mentors Elevate the Competition

This year introduces an electrifying team format. Former world #6 Gilles Simon, who reached last year's finals, will captain one squad while Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli leads the opposing team.

The action unfolds through multiple elimination rounds, starting with team clashes before transitioning to individual matches in the dramatic Loser Bracket phase. Ultimately, only one champion will lift the virtual trophy.
