Wildlife Studios has capped off the Final Stage of Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault 2025 for Tennis Clash, crowning Colombia’s Samuel Sanin Ortiz “Sasmis” as the ultimate champion. Hundreds of live spectators, as well as thousands viewing on YouTube and Twitch, witnessed the tournament unfold, with the 8th edition introducing a team stage to push the contestants to prove their worth across two teams of four.
This means that the Tennis Clash tournament didn't just focus on your typical singles format - the finalists were guided by renowned coaches such as French tennis legend Marion Bartoli and former top 10 ATP player Gilles Simon.
