Truls Moregard vs Alexis Lebrun | Semifinal - 2024 Europe Top 16 

Moregard was unstoppable here, creative, agressive and not giving changes to Alexis! This rivalry has just started, we have good content for the years to come

5:24 "He plays like he is out of his mind all the time. He is pure instinct" Best description of Truls Moregard.

One of the most exciting European rivalries at the moment...

This is one of those games for Alexis that you are up against an opponent who is just feeling it that game, Truls put on a show this game and showed why he's such a top player

This matchup is a shot-making feast for the spectators. But Truls was just on another level this time.

0:41 NO, we do not have a fan favorite in Alexis Lebrun. Truls Moregard is equally popular, if not more. For me, Truls is the most entertaining player in table tennis with his creative shots and with his funny acting.

Last set Truls was in the zone.

Unbelievable play from Truls! 🤯💪 He beats Alexis once again, and how! 11:36 is such a banger, aswell as the match point edge ball winner!!😮😤💥

10:56 my favorite point (till the end)

What a game! I see all the comments saying Truls dominated the match but that's not what I saw. It was pretty close throughout most of the match with Truls tightening the game in the key moments. Very very entertaining to watch in any case, I really hope we'll see more face-to-face between these 2!

Nice edit - fast way of seeing top table tennis :)

I ❤ Truls' playing !!

Truls was on 🔥

Это уже не теннис. это искусство со сверх человеческой реакцией. Морегар в этом матче был вообще монстр!

Lebrun is so passive. At this level you have to be aggressive.

Moregard is much a better player after his training in China and playing in the Chinese league.

強すぎる... ゾーンに入ると止められない

I used to play similar to that before;howver, the velocity of my ball was slower and I could not make sequences of returns like that.

If truls has improved his backhand and darko has improved his forehand, and it appears they have, they could both compete for Olympic gold along with felix.

11:46 Felix and Xia lian Ni !!

ヨーロッパ若手中心にレベル上がりすぎだろ、、、、、

Insane perfomance

Alexis aura sans doute aidé Truls en éliminant son frère. J'aurais préféré que Félix gagne, je pense qu'il aurait eu plus de chances contre Truls (et je pense même qu'il aurait gagné)

fantastic defence @10:56

У Трулса форма лютая!

Moregard plays as entertainigly as J.O. Waldner.

What's wrong with alexis?

10:53

ゾーン入ってる

역대급 경기력 ㄷㄷ

Dieses Spiel war einfach fenomenal👌

вот это рубилово

Absolutaly destroyed Lebrun👌🏽💪🏽

❤❤❤

Someone has to tell Moregard to go down a size on his shoes lol.

Muls Trollegard strikes again

Морегард чемпион топ 16

Красивая игра, но много ошибок. Но шведская школа настольного тенниса выше.❤❤❤

Alexis should have let Felix win. Alexis can win against Felix because of the psychologically part of the game. But against other players, Felix is the way better player, probably the best non-chinese player at the moment

GG

🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪💪💪💪

The water is boiling

6:25 AL makes a carry/double-strike*, but because he lost the point anyway nobody cares. ______ * screen mag., frame-by-frame

Историю Вальднера повторит?)

Le seul qui gagne plus fort que lui c est son frère.....

With some modern players there is something peculiar in the air that is different from the time around Zhang, Xu, Ma, Wang aso. This is for instance quite visible to me in matches with Moregard and Lebrun (on the contrary you won't see this with Lin Yun-Ju). It is something about poker face, some kind of arrogant, insecure and narcissistic appearance and behavior. Cleary, I don't have to connect with the players personally, still, I see table tennis as the fastest gentleman sport in the planet. Just sayin', I see you guys..

Ego Game , i rather hit harder than u than bring the Ball on the table 😂

alexis n'a plus vraiment le niveau mondial malheureusement ...

Разобрал лебрана на запчасти

This is probably the most agresssive match i've ever seen. I cannot imagine having reflexes that fast.

Truls has an amazing short game, really paralyzed Alexi, when it came to open rally Alexi can win but Truls was too strong in the first two balls and even in the open game Truls still wins much of the time. going to be an interesting finals!!

Nice Match from both. I really like to see Truls playing an aggressive offenssive style.

We already feel that Alexis is not very confident in his shots compared to the match against his brother. He made a lot of mistakes, in short, he wasn't at his true aggressive level, you could just see it in his eyes, etc. Truls was able to take the advantage with powerful and precise starts. it's a shame well done both.

When Moregard is on fire almost nobody can stop him

I bet truls was happy that Alexis beat Felix because he would have go give it to win Felix and probably wouldn’t be enough 😂 but that was I talked about when I said Alexis is very good and can win 1 or two players but he is not stable like his brother.

Lest we forget there was a stretch last year where Alexis absolutely dominated and embarrassed Truls, to the point that Truls was having a mental breakdown during match play...it made Truls bear down and train harder, and now that has borne fruit... it is undeniable that Truls is way more switched on and determined when playing against Alexis...the vibe in the air is Truls is determined to smash Alexis to a location at least 5 meters underground.

That's the beauty of Table Tennis, no matter how good a player is, there will always be someone better,no one stays on top for very long, congrats to Truls, a truly talented player!

Moregard really improved his forehand and general consistency after training and playing in the Chinese league.

Буквально разорвал соперника. А почему турнир европейский, а титульный спонсор из рф?!?😂😂😂

おめでと

Щелкунчик шведский!!!

Having watched Alexis Lebrun quite thoroughly now, I do feel that he gets in his head quite quickly. Once he does he seems to play differently and not in a good way. It was a great match but after game 1 when Alexis let it slip away you could see his demeanor and play style change.

4.11 Good to see them enforcing the near vertical throw rule. Just a horizontal distance of half the table...

Lovely

truls has been in winning form throughout the tournament The result was expected

Why is 3 wins isn't enough for match win? are you kidding me???

モーレゴードの全てが詰まったような試合すぎる 最初の2ゲームの時点でレシーブにかなり差があったように思える

The last two sets from another planet, two Martians ! Truls is really the new Waldner

Waldner's forehand & Persson's backhand on the grid! This is Truls Moregard!!!

Alexis’ only enemy is his mental strength, after giving what he thought was his greatest effort and losing the first you could see his usual demeanour take a massive downturn, which contributed to losing the second without a real fight, then he licked his bruises and tried again, showing what he could really do, but Trulls kept his head up and that is the only difference, once he sorts out his mental strength his consistency will jump also and his power will punch through over time rather than fail with his mental decline. Excellent match to observe the minute elements that make up a great player, that last 5% of mental attitude that takes you beyond your physical limitations.

If Alexis let Felix win we all know who would win this match😂
