Félix Lebrun s’arrête en quarts en Corée du Sud. DORIAN CAYUELA

Le jeune Montpelliérain, étincelant jusqu’ici, a été sorti pare le Brésilien Hugo Calderano.

It's over. Sparkling until then, Félix Lebrun, world No. 5, was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the WTT Champions in Incheon, South Korea.

Cette nuit, Félix Lebrun n'a rien pu faire face à un Hugo Calderano très solide (0-3). De son côté, Simon Gauzy a réalisé une prestation admirable et s'est même offert trois balles de match face au n°3 mondial. C'est finalement Liang Jingkun qui l'emporte à la belle (2-3).

Like his brother Alexis a little earlier in the tournament, the young Montpellier native (17 years old) was knocked out by the Brazilian Hugo Calderano (n°8) in three sets 11-9, 11- 8, 11-5.

Gauzy also eliminated

Félix Lebrun apparently no longer had any energy in the engine after having completed the French Championships, a long journey to Asia and this competition bringing together the 32 best players on the planet.
