Roland-Garros worldwide

The FFT is fully committed to promoting Roland-Garros worldwide in order to spread the word about the Parisian Grand Slam and encourage people to play on clay in all four corners of the globe.

A pioneer in organising eTennis competitions since 2018, every year the FFT demonstrates its ability to innovate by combining traditional sport with esport. In 2024, Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault will be played for the third time on mobile, more specifically on Tennis Clash, a free tennis game that is number one in the world. The final phase of the world’s biggest eTennis tournament took place at Roland-Garros on 25th May!

Since 2014, Roland-Garros Junior Series by Renault grants the winners a wildcard for Roland-Garros Junior Championships, after a series of qualifying tournaments played on clay. An initiative that aims to support the future of tennis. In spring, the competition took place in São Paulo, Brazil, with the exceptional presence of a renowned ambassador: Juan Martin Del Potro. A total of 32 players, 16 boys and 16 girls under the age of 16 from 11 different South American countries, took part in the tournament from 2 to 7 April, held for the second year running at the prestigious Sociedade Harmonia de Tênis club in São Paulo. It was an unforgettable experience for these talented youngsters, and an essential step in their progress and in their lives as future champions, which will enable Auhany Silva (Brazil) and Luis Miguel (Brazil) to see their dream come true. Winners of the event, they have been awarded a wild card for the final draw of the Roland Garros junior tournament.

Boosted by the all-round success of the Brazilian stage of the tournament, Roland-Garros Junior Series by Renault will bring together the top 32 Asian players under the age of 17 (16 boys and 16 girls) from 16th to 20th October 2024, in the Dai-Ichi Life Sogoen Tennis Court in Tokyo, where Japan’s young professional tennis players train for the clay season.

Set up by the French Tennis Federation in collaboration with the Asian Tennis Federation (ATF), the Japanese Tennis Association (JTA) and with the support of Renault, BNP Paribas, Accor and Wilson, this initiative aims to shine the spotlight on a continent that is brimming with tennis talents.
