Simon Gauzy, victim of a burn-out: “I had a complete extinction”

They are primarily based on Alexis Lebrun19th player in the world, and Jianan Yuan (n°16) in singles, and mixed doubles Emmanuel Lebesson-Jianan Yuan (#4). The first will face this Saturday evening (7:50 p.m. on L’Équipe live) the Ukrainian Ievgen Pryshchepa, and could find the Chinese Liang Jingkun, n ° 5, on his way from the eighth. Main difficulty for the French n°1, as for the other “beginners” at the Worlds: the management of matches in four winning sets (3 in WTT until the quarter-finals), and a busier program than in WTT.

Jianan Yuan will face Italian Debora Vivarelli, and could face Chinese world No. 1 Sun Yingsha in the round of 16. The mixed doubles Lebesson-Yuan will have to pass the Germans Shan-Franziska to possibly find, in the 2nd round, Simon Gauzy and Prithika Pavade, opposed to the Romanians Ionescu-Diaconu in the 1st.

The other 1st round matches: Felix Lebrun-Nima Alamian (IRA), Can Akkuzu-Dimitrij Ovtcharov (ALL), Simon Gauzy-Eduard Ionescu (ROU); Prithika Pavade-Ivy Liao (CAN), Audrey Zarif-Amy Wang (USA), Camille Lutz-Anastasia Lavrova (KAZ), Charlotte Lutz-Olufunke Oshonaike (NGR); Pavade-Ca. Lutz – Labosova-Kukulkova (SLQ), Ch. Lutz-Zarif – Deacon-Xiao ; Lebesson-Akkuzu – Yang-Huang (TAI), F. et A. Lebrun – Kao-Chuang (TAI).
