Wildlife Studios concluded the Final Stage of the Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault 2025 for Tennis Clash, naming Colombia’s Samuel Sanin Ortiz “Sasmis” as this year’s champion. The event drew hundreds of live attendees and thousands more watching via YouTube and Twitch, marking the eighth edition of the tournament and introducing a new team format that grouped finalists into two teams of four players.
This unique addition elevated the competition beyond traditional singles play, with finalists mentored by celebrated tennis figures such as French Grand Slam champion Marion Bartoli and former ATP Top 10 player Gilles Simon.
