Road to Roland‑Garros!
For the 2026 edition, Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault keeps the format that has driven its success, while aiming to raise the bar even higher in terms of excellence, immersion, and competitiveness. Three open qualifying stages, organised between March and April, will give players all over the world the opportunity to compete for a spot among the eight finalists.
The three qualified competitors will be joined in the final stage by the top female players from the two first Open Qualifiers, alongside the two finalists of the Grand Tour – the circuit reserved for the best Tennis Clash players – as well as defending champion Samuel Sanin Ortiz of Colombia, known as “Sasmis”. The eight title contenders will enjoy a fully authentic immersion in the competitive world of professional tennis, delivering a unique experience designed to align eTennis even more closely with the standards of traditional sport.
They will compete for the title during the final stage which will take place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at the Roland-Garros auditorium in front of a live audience. After an initial team round (coached by iconic tennis figures), players will move into an individual double‑elimination bracket, ensuring a high‑level contest through to the very last match. The two finalists will share a total prize pool of €5,000. The event will be broadcast live (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) on France TV’s digital platform and on the official Roland‑Garros YouTube channel (in English).
