The draw for the WTT Champions in Frankfurt (November 3-10) once again offered a Franco-French duel from the first round between Félix Lebrun and Simon Gauzy. This had brought good luck to the Héraultais.
At this moment, it is better not to cross paths with Félix Lebrun. But that's what happened to Simon Gauzy, who fell on his compatriot in his first match at the WTT Champions Cup.
“It was a good Félix draw in the first round in any case”Gauzy quipped at the end of the week when he saw his friend crush everything in his path and win the tournament.
Unfortunately for him, the Toulouse resident sees fate getting worse. He once again inherited Félix Lebrun as his opponent, in the 1st round of the WTT Champions Cup in Frankfurt (November 3-10). This beautiful Franco-French poster will take place on Sunday, at 6:30 p.m.
The Lebruns not in the same part of the table
In this tournament, Félix Lebrun (world No. 5) will be seeded No. 3. He was placed in the half of the table of world No. 1, Wang Chuqin, whom he could meet in the semi-finals. In the quarter-finals, the king of Montpellier could be entitled to a European shock against Truls Moregaard or Dimitrij Ovtcharov.
In the other half of the table, we will find the world No. 2, the Chinese Lin Shidong, whom Félix Lebrun dominated in the final in Montpellier. Alexis Lebrun is also on this side of the table (and will therefore not be able to face his brother before the final). The eldest of the siblings has not been spoiled since he will start against the title holder, the Taiwanese and 12th in the world Lin Yun-Ju. Currently 14th in the world, Alexis Lebrun is aiming for a place at the Masters at the end of the season, which will bring together the 16 best players in the world in Fukuoka.
