Wildlife Studios has concluded the Final Stage of Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault 2025 for Tennis Clash, with Colombian player Samuel Sanin Ortiz ("Sasmis") emerging victorious. The tournament attracted hundreds of live spectators and thousands more watching via YouTube and Twitch, featuring a groundbreaking team format where competitors demonstrated their skills across two four-player teams.
The Tennis Clash championship broke from tradition by incorporating more than just singles matches. Finalists received mentorship from tennis greats including Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli and former ATP top-10 player Gilles Simon.
Simon coached a team consisting of Adjua Boucher "Renapower" (USA), Samuel Sanin Ortiz "Sasmis" (COL), Eugen Mosdir "AreidY" (GER), and Alessandro Bianco "ΔLEX" (ITA). Bartoli mentored Hizir Balkanci "Hizir" (TUR), Randy Van Haele "RSMKN" (BEL), Omer Feder "Omer" (ISR), and Anyndia Lestari "Anyndia" (IDN).
After intense strategic battles, the finals culminated in a showdown between Sasmis (COL) and AreidY (GER), with the Colombian champion securing victory 3-1 (7-10 / 10-4 / 10-7 / 10-3).
"Winning Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault means everything to me," Sasmis shared. "The countless hours of practice and preparation have paid off. This entire experience at Roland-Garros has been unforgettable, and I can't wait to return next year to defend my title!"
The tournament also marked a significant milestone with the introduction of four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka as Tennis Clash's inaugural real-world character.
