Today at 12:30 p.m.
Draw made, the French know their first opponent for this WTT Champions in Frankfurt. And again for Félix Lebrun and Simon Gauzy (39th in the WTT ranking) who meet again in the first round. Last week, the now fifth in the world won against his compatriot in three sets (11-8, 11-9, 12-10). At home, in Montpellier, the youngest Lebrun even then became the first French national (and the third European) to win a WTT Champions.
Seeded No. 3, Félix, semi-finalist last year, is still the favorite for this first round. With a fairly open part of the table, the native of Montpellier could find the No. 1 in the WTT ranking, Wang Chuqin, in the semi-finals. On the other side, Alexis Lebrun will face Lin Yun-Ju, seeded n°8 and above all the defending champion in Frankfurt. In the event of victory, he would meet Marcos Freitas, the Portuguese who was his bête noire, before beating him in a controversial match in Montpellier.
