The disappointment is enormous for the entire French delegation. This Thursday, Félix Lebrun was eliminated in the round of 16 of the single world table tennis championships in Doha, beaten to the beautiful by the Korean year Jaehyun, 17th in the world (4-3). World number 6, the 18-year-old French will now have to be satisfied with the double where he will try on Friday, alongside his brother Alexis, to rally the semi-finals.
For this, they will have to get rid of the Swedish pair Mattias Falck and Kristian Karlsson to ensure at least a bronze medal in these Worlds. In a tense meeting, the Montpellier was pushed to the decisive set per year Jaehyun, who then took off. And if Félix Lebrun tried to erase four match balls in favor of his opponent, managing to return to 9-10, it was ultimately the Korean who had the last word: 12-10, 9-11, 12-14, 11-7, 14-12, 6-11, 9-11.
