2023 Roland-Garros eSeries: The biggest eTennis event in the world returns

The world’s largest and most diverse electronic tennis competition — Roland-Garros eSeries 2023 by BNP Paribas — has revealed the details of the sixth edition of its annual esports competition.

The €5,000 eTennis competition, organized by the Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT), will feature eight finalists from seven different qualifying tournaments, who will face each other in the Grand Final at Roland Garros on May 26, 2023, to determine the new eTennis world Champion.

Contestants from various qualifying events will take seven of the eight spots in the Grand Final. The eighth spot is booked for William Foster, the winner of last year’s Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas 2022, as well as the Australian Open Tennis Clash 2023 virtual tournament.

Tennis Clash CEO Dotan Arad commented:
