Félix Lebrun is only a walk to register his name in the history of tricolor table tennis by becoming the first French player to register his name in the list of a Grand Chelm tournament.
Winner of the number two World Lin Shidong in the semi-finals, the young prodigy of the French ping, 19, faces this Sunday, October 5, the world number one Wang Chuqin in the final of the Grand Smash in Beijing.
Even if Wang Chuqin suffered in the semi-finals against his compatriot Xiang Peng (9th in the world), the world number one represents a major obstacle for “Féfé”, which has never beat it in four confrontations.
The last dates back to the semi-final of the Grand Smash de Las Vegas, in July, and the Montpellier had not been far from creating the feat, losing only at the end of the 7th set.
The final of the China Smash in Beijing takes place this Sunday, October 5 from noon, French time. It will be followed on the Youtube and Twitch channels of RMC Sport and live commented on the website of the parisien.fr.
