Les deux hommes s'étaient déjà rencontrés en février, avec le même résultat. XinHua – Yang Shiyao

French table tennis player Félix Lebrun was eliminated in the semi-final of the Singapore Smash, the equivalent of a Grand Slam tournament in tennis, beaten on Saturday March 16 by Chinese world No.2 Wang Chuqin 4 sets at 1 (11-2, 7-11, 11-4, 11-6, 11-8).

Jumped from the start in the first set where he found himself trailing 9 to 1, Félix Lebrun, 17 years old and sixth player in the world, n&# 39;was only able to snatch one round from his opponent, only the second given up by Wang Chuqin in this Smash.

Chuqin future world No.1

As in the final of the Team World Cup, lost by France to China at the end of February, and where Félix Lebrun was dominated 3 sets to 0, the Frenchman then suffered the Chinese law of 23 years old, who will seize the place of world No.1 whatever the outcome of his final against his compatriot Liang Jingkun.
