The 17-year-old from Montpellier, author of a superb start to the match, subsequently collapsed against the German Dang Qiu (12th in the world), for a 3-2 defeat in the quarter-final of the WTT Champions in Chongqing, Sunday.

After his close victory against veteran Timo Boll in the previous round, it was another German who was on the road to Félix Lebrun in the quarter-final of the WTT Champions in Chongqing , Sunday.

Dang Qiu (12th in the world) did not, in the first two sets, exist against the young Montpellier who showed the full extent of his talent by settling the first two sets 11-6 and 11 -3.

"I couldn’adapt"

While the 5th in the world was heading towards success and qualification for the semi-finals by leading 3-0 in the 3rd set, a timeout set by the German completely changed the court of the meeting. A stunning finish for Dang Qiu (5-11, 10-12, 5-11), which allowed him to win the match (3-2).

"I started perfectly, leading 2-0 ; 3-0 After that, a tactical adjustment immediately bothered me and I was unable to adapt, confided Félix Lebrun on his social networks at the& rsquo;end of the meeting. What we must remember is the quality of play in these first two sets. I played at a level rarely achieved throughout the entire season."
