Felix Lebrun vs Wang Chuqin | MS R16 | WTT Finals Men Doha 2023 

Felix played well and even took a game off of Wang Chuqin, good match! Being 7-1 up against the world no. 2 is not bad at 17!😮👌🇨🇵

The only player to take a set off WCQ from the whole tournament !! How crazy is that ?

Match exceptionnel de WCQ. Sûrement le meilleur mondial en ce moment. Très bon match de Félix, encore en progrès. Que les ponts sont durs à gagner à ce niveau!

WCQ the superior player for sure but Félix Lebrun managed to challenge him from time to time and to even clinch a set. He will keep on improving for sure as he is only 17 and I am sure it will be a tighter match next time. Some great points nonetheless, I really liked the one at 6:05 😀

A heavy sign of relief from Wang Chuqin's coach Wang Hao. As Wang Chuqin is one of 3 targeted Chinese players for Paris Olympic, his loss to a non-Chinese player would make coaching staff's job a lot tougher. Needless to say Felix played well and did give Wang some threat. Hope Felix can continue to improve so he can be a more threat to the Chinese. Fan Zhengdong had a tough match against Jogic today. One can sense that the gap between Chinese elite players and the best of non-Chinese players is narrowing, which will make the sport more exciting.

It doesn't help Felix to get into back and forth fast paced exchanges with WCQ bc Wang is simply better in that aspect. Take nothing away from Felix his is a strong player but Wang was reading most of his shots and knew where to position himself for a counter.

Il n'a pas à rougir de cette défaite... En face c'est sûrement le futur n°1 mondial après FZD. Ce qui me fait dire qu'il a encore de la marge c'est dans la remise et le service ou il a été bon seulement la moitié du 2ème set, alors que ce sont ses deux points forts. Il le dit clairement un moment donné. "Tu sers mal, tu remets mal". A force d'affronter le top mondial il saura s'adapter pour devenir une menace encore plus grande. Bravo Felix, continue comme ça tu nous fais rêver

Félix Lebrun has a bright future. I remember when WCQ was 16 he was already talented and trained a lot with Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan (serve/receive)

brilliant point at 6:04

The only thing the side camera angle is good for is revealing how WCQ serves 2-to 3 inches over the table every time 😂😂😂

Thanks! So great game! 👍💪

Felix a trop souvent laissé Wang attaquer le premier, surtout dans le dernier set, je ne pense pas que ça soit tactique, sûrement impressionné par Wang + son jeune âge et n'osant pas prendre l'iniative. Il n'a que 17 ans donc, pas de quoi s'en faire, Wang était quand même le favori..

That pressure, I feel it

Meta styles are so different after just a year. Everything is much closer to the table now. All these reflex hits.

Wang is another level 😍💪🏻

Am I the only one to have a sudden urge to clip my nails after seeing chuqin's serve? 2:07

Bien joué Félix, on attend pour les JO avec ton frère ❤

Felix is awesome, WCQ is extraordinary.

is the app in the description safe to dowload?

WCQ's wrist rhythum is similar to J.Pearson but more quicker,more powerful. Watch at o.75 speed.

Great stroke play by Wang. He truly has a gifted grip

Je m'aperçois d'une chose, le tennis de table c'est plus de fautes que de coups gagnants. Vu la vitesse de jeu, c'est compréhensible mais bon c'est un des rares sports où on gagne un match grâce aux fautes de l'adversaire. En gros celui qui retourne le plus de balles gagne le match 😀

Bravo WCQ🎉

I have alwys wanted to see a clush between wqn and these brothers, wang delivered on their first encounter as i anticipated

Still this very bad high side angle? Come on WTT it is time that you listen to your fans and viewers.

please for the love of god, change the camera angle!!! This is the worst angle you can pick, can't see the spin on the ball, nor both the players perspective...

Felix wins all the points as the easiest-on-the-eye TT player out there. Grr...!

Félix n avais pas l air bien le stress nervosité mais il a essayé de se ressaisir et de marquer de merveilleux points plus de calme au service le bombe ligne droite ça marche bien 😊

Wang Chuqin can attack nearly anything. Lebrun really needs to attack first, which he does against most opponents. Then the rally is in Lebrun's favor as the opponent is continuing by reflex due to Lebrun's quickness rather than playing the strongest shot. However, once Wang's attack gets going, the odds are against Lebrun to survive the point.

Very fast game😱👏

Lebrun Top

Wang Chuqin placed the ball to Lebrun's forehand and that was game. Lebrun at the final set lost confidence and wouldn't even attack long serves to his forehand. It was clear that Felix had a weak forehand in 2022, but it greatly improved in 2023. It is not enough to beat the best players right now though.

The key of the game was the service🤔every time felix return the service good win the point 😳

It seems to me that the Chinese win most of the long rallies. Felix only won one such rally in this match and WCQ won all the others. And this seems to be a pattern for Chinese Vs European players - and I've watched a lot of matches. My theory is that Chinese players play at a higher level throughout their youth development and therefore develop more "muscle memory" to withstand long rallies. Felix probably had little competition at the youth level in his own country, and thus is not used to rallies lasting so long and so doesn't have the "muscle memory."

🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪

Not yet kid... not yet

bravo Felix malgré la défaite

I thought that when serving, you must hit the ball behind the back line? WCQ obviously hit the ball several times at or in front of the back line. Why is this not called? I counted 4-5 times or more each game, at least half of his serves were against the rules. Am I incorrect?

Not sure what Felix could have done better other than having a stronger forehand which he will as he gets older. He is showing signs of the limitations of the pen hold style.

The only one that was a challenge for wang in this competition

王楚欽在這場比賽中，展現了強大的制宰力。

サムネの躍動感いいね

Felix avait un peu peur d'engager

what a finishing shot! Felix held up incredibly well, there were some rallys where he was actually controlling Wang by staying close and aggresive! I think he only needs more experience being able to counter those insanely spinny and fast chinese smash loops, if he can hone in the feeling and gain consistancy catching those open ups and actually following up, I have a feeling that is all it will take for Felix to start taking down some major big name chinese players!

cool

7 mins finished?

Je croyais qu'il était interdit de servir au-dessus de la table... j'ai mal compris la règle durant des décennies ?

What is mean by chole ??🤔🤔

Est ce autorisé de servir avec l'ensemble du corp sur le coté de la table ? Même si la balle est servie sur la ligne moi on m'avait apprise qu'il était interdit de se déplacer sur les cotés pour jouer un coup

Ithought it was a typo when I saw Lebrun and was wondering which sport I was watching.

The level isn't as high as the matches between Chinese players.

恭喜王楚欽打敗法國小將，繼續加油！

quel coup droit de Wang Chuqin......ca me rappel celui de Ma Long ...

Felix Kulov!

what is this camera angle man

Такое впечатление, что мяч какой-то тяжелый, не такой, как раньше.

👌👌👍👍👏👏

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHH TATOOOOOOOOO

Почему 2023

The match of European game champion and Asian game champion. XD

1:35 мяч в камеру прилетел))

Camera angle 😢

Felix Lebrun is the prototype of squeaky voiced speccy four eyes!

Ван это киборг,помноженный на вечность 😂

The only set wang defeated at the whole tournament

Mentalement, le Chinois était le joueur-alpha, dominant. Ce fut déterminant pour le gain du match ...

У китайцєв основание и накладки на порядок лучьше они имеют затухание на приеме попогают взять подачу и єфект лука после атаки єто есть преимушество

Felix I'm hoping will be the next European Wang Hao, my model at the club level. Robert at 69.

I wanted to see Felix win :(

In one or two years Felix will beat all the best Chinese players 🔥

bon match de felix mais pas assez constent sur un match pour venir à bout des top chinois, encore trop de fautes qui se paie cash au bout du compte à ce niveau là mais bon il est jeune c'est de l'expérience engrangée pour la suite, il les battra un jour c'est sûr.

Mega unlucky for Lebrun at 4:36, instead of potentially going 5-5 he lost that one and a few more going 8-4 down :( that said Wang was definitely the better player

Болел за Ваню Щукина в онлайне. Феликс домой лягушек кушать

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Felix est un super joueur mais toujours le même problème, à chaque fois qu’il joue un chinois il est tendu à mort et perd ses moyens

Camera angle is a huge turn off

People need to stop saying he is only 17 and already top 10. Like FZD, Harimoto and .... were not top 10 before 18. He is good but almost always loses to the best and I guarantee you, he will never be top 3. I have nothing against him but he is bot the only special guy. Harimoto was top 10 by 14, so ...

Thank you for this terrible camera angle form the roof!

Феликс Леброн, мой любимый Феликс Леброн он снова не чемпион.... Он опять становиться вторым(

This wang dude Is not from this planet earth

The serve of whang ist...

Ça n'est que partie remise pour Félix, il leur prend à chaque fois un set.... C'était un jour sans, par rapport au niveau qu'il peut jouer.

Felix pas assez relâché trop de fautes , il manquait du dynamisme et le chinois a pris trop souvent les initiatives

Felix的正手力量太弱了，目前来说是没有任何威胁，发球也是没有太大的帮助。

Quelques mauvais retour de service ,surtout à la fin du 4ème...ca aurait été enorme d'emmener ce chinois à la belle !!!

Oops ..

格付け完了

5:37 can someone translate what he said?😂

Not many comments mentioning that WCQ still hides his serves with his massive head and you can see that serve return is really the key difference in this match. If forced to serve legally he would not be challenging FZD for number 1 in my opinion.

В концовке играть через подрезку с китайцами не стоит

Most of you guys are so obsessed with seeing the Chinese loosing its not funny , many of you probably go to see the doctor for heart pains when your greatest desires which is the Chinese to loose even when he is better than the other player. For this reason l want the Chinese to continue winning .l have never seen Chinese people act like you guys over any sport that they do not dominate they just enjoy the ability to be able to participate . The humility of the Chinese people is what l admire . Too much raceism in sports , I congratulate the winner not because he is Chinese but because he was the bettet player and did what he needed to do to win, fair and square I am a black man and just. Love to see the best player win regardless of his ethnicity we are all human beings .

French team is awesome and promising. On the other hand, the Chinese team will face challenges. Only fan zheng dong is a super star. Wcq is not consistent enough. Ma long is no longer invincible. The other Chinese players are not in the super class.

Another level ? This is not evident , it s exagerate Lebrun should was not so far !

Many faulty serves by Wang - ball contact over the table, but it must be behind table’s back line.

Felix need coach Wang Hao🎉🎉🎉

Faut s'éloigner des compets et bosser ce putain de coup droit maintenant ça suffit ces conneries !!!! Vous m'entendez, Molin et tes pipes de patrons ????

Worst angle ever to see the match.

Wang serve over table and illegal.

Wang's got weirdly long nails. Why?

service chinois completement faux
