Félix Lebrun, very recent winner of the WTT Champions in Montpellier, had to fight hard to reach the quarter-finals of the WTT Champions in Frankfurt this Wednesday evening.
With a little less fervor to his credit than last week in Hérault, Félix Lebrun found himself faced with a wall this Wednesday in the round of 16 of the Frankfurt stage labeled WTT Champions.
The South Korean An Jae-hyun sold his skin dearly in fact, in four contested sets which ultimately turned to the advantage of the youngest of the prodigy brothers (11-9 11-5 7-11 11-9), who had to show phenomenal composure to achieve his goals this time again.
Thus rid of the 25e world player, Félix Lebrun now has an appointment with the survivor of the opposition between the Englishman Liam Pitchford and the Swedish Olympic vice-champion Truls Moregard. It will be Friday after a day of respite. For a place in the semi-finals which will be played out in a table game without world No. 1 Wang Chuqin, dismissed by the Swede Anton Kallberg.
