The grand final of this charity edition of the Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas will be held on Sunday 7th June.

On the dates the tournament was originally scheduled (24th May – 7th June), several actions have been rolled out as part of the #RGEnsemble initiative. While tennis fans have enjoyed watching a number of legendary matches on rolandgarros.com and on fft.fr, this project has also enabled us to raise money for the AP-HP Foundation. The Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas was also adapted to keep tennis alive and raise money for charity.  

Since 1st June, a number of celebrities have played against each other on the online version of the Tennis World Tour-Roland-Garros Edition video game to bring their community together and encourage people to donate. In a friendly yet competitive atmosphere, four players managed to battle their way through to the semifinals of the tournament. After defeating actor Kev Adams and Stéphane Houdet, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is set to play musician Florent Dasque in the semifinals. In the other half of the draw, Fiona Ferro got the better of Paul-Henri Mathieu and Grégoire Barrère, and will play against Nicolas Peifer for a place in the final.
