Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas returning for Tennis World Tour

Roland Garros, BNP Paribas, and Bigben Interactive have teamed up to revealed the second edition of the Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas, which if you didn't know is an esports competition for Tennis World Tour.

The qualifiers start this month to decide on national champions to head to the international final, coinciding with the Roland Garros event. If you think you've got what it takes you can even register yourself right here.

"Following on from the enthusiasm shown for the first Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas, we wanted to go one step further this year with the second edition of this international e-tennis tournament, to offer fans and gamers the best possible experience. I'm convinced that this new worldwide competition and its new features will incite great enthusiasm in participants from the competition's ten host countries. We are proud to share this ambition with our partners BNP Paribas and BIGBEN, and are eager to get this new season started," explained Stéphane Morel, Deputy CEO of the French Tennis Federation's Marketing and Business Development

Germany and the US are joining the existing lineup of France, China, India, Brazil, Great Britain, Belgium, Italy, and Spain, and national finals will be partnered with the likes of Internazionali BNL di Roma and the Open Parc Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes de Lyon. BNP Paribas are also hosting national finals in Shanghai, Bombay, Frankfurt, and London.

The qualifying mode will be held online on PS4, which will decide the eight best players for each country. These eight will then play a final qualifying round, with the winner of that heading to the final. To decide the last place in the final though, we'll get two special tournaments, one of which is reserved for the French Tennis Federation members, while another is for members of the We Are Tennis by BNP Paribas platform.

The Parisian Grand Slam is hosting this final, with a prize pool of €10,000, half of which is going to the winner.

The game is due for release on May 16 for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, so the second edition of the tournament will be played on a pre-release version of the game.
