Get ready to serve up some excitement because the Roland-Garros eSeries is making a thrilling comeback in 2025. Tennis fans and gamers alike can once again dive into the competitive world of virtual tennis on the clay courts of Tennis Clash. This year, the tournament spices things up with a new team-based format, the guidance of legendary tennis captains, and a hefty €5,000 prize pool up for grabs.
Renault and Mastercard return as key sponsors, bringing with them exclusive customization options. Players can deck out their characters with official Roland-Garros 2025 outfits and wield the unique Renault 5 Roland-Garros string, adding an extra layer of authenticity and style to the competition.
When Does It Start?
Mark your calendars! The Roland-Garros eSeries is set to kick off in March with open qualifiers. Aspiring champions will battle it out from March 6-11, March 20-25, and April 3-8 to earn their spot in the finals. The top female players from the first two qualifiers will join the overall winners to compete in the grand finale.
The climax of the tournament will unfold at the Roland-Garros Tenniseum Auditorium on May 24th, where finalists will face off in front of a live audience. Can't make it in person? No worries—the entire event will be streamed live on Twitch, ensuring you don't miss a single serve or volley.
What’s New This Year?
The Roland-Garros eSeries 2025 shakes things up with its innovative team-based format. Instead of going solo, finalists will be organized into teams, each captained by a prominent figure in French tennis. The first confirmed captain is none other than Gilles Simon, the former ATP world No. 6 and Davis Cup champion. Simon, who has been part of the eSeries as a commentator since 2023 and competed in 2024's Top 8, will lead one of the squads this year.
While the identity of the rival captain remains under wraps, organizers have hinted that it's a Grand Slam winner, adding to the anticipation. Once teams are set, the real battle commences. The winning team from the first phase advances to the winner's side of the double-elimination bracket, while the losing team starts on the loser's side.
