The Roland-Garros E-series by BNP Paribas is an international tournament: qualifying took place in as many as 8 countries: France, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, China, India, Italy and the United Kingdom.

Tennis World Tour, at the heart of the tournament

The virtual encounters of the Roland-Garros E-Series by BNP Paribas are organised using the 'Tennis World Tour' game from publisher Big Ben, sponsored by Gaël Monfils. Participants will have the chance to play on a virtual clay court in Roland-Garros colours on a preview demo version of the game, whose eagerly-awaited official release date is 22 May 2018.

In France, more than 500 entries were recorded in the first week. Eventually, 64 participants selected at random from among the hundreds of entries took part in the qualifying tournament organised in Paris on 25 April. The next stage for the winner: the grand final on 25 May, between 8 finalists from the 8 national tournaments.

This final will take place at Roland-Garros at the same time as the official launch of the Tennis World Tour game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, and in the presence of the game sponsor Gaël Monfils.

The final will also be broadcast live on Francetvsport.fr.
