Hennebont and SPO Rouen, who share the leadership position in Pro A, are engaged in a duel full of promise this Tuesday, November 11, 2025 (3:30 p.m.) at Kindarena for the 4th day.
Early Christmas present: the summit of the regular season at home to SPO Rouen arrives in the middle of a public holiday, November 11, and in the middle of the afternoon. Clash between the two undefeated co-leaders of the championship, in a cauldron-shaped room 1000 of the Kindarena for this reception of the Hennebont Vow Guard.
Hennebont is very heavy. We are talking about the scarecrow of Pro A, a team built to compete with the reigning French champion Nîmes/Montpellier. Finalist of the previous year, the Breton club recruited the famous French international Simon Gauzy, bronze medalist at the Paris Olympics and 17th player in the world.
At 31, Simon Gauzy is in the form of his life: after eliminating Félix Lebrun at the WTT Champions Montpellier, he has just taken the scalp of the 3rd player in the world, the Brazilian Hugo Calderano, at the WTT Champions in Frankfurt… The other leader of the Morbihannais is called Chen Yuanyu, world n°24.
To counter this armada, SPO Rouen has solid arguments to put forward. Coach Stéphane Hucliez will bet on Lilian Bardet (world no. 43), promoted to spearhead his team for the trip to the Loups d’Angers on the last day. By winning his two matches, the ex-Tourangeau was the great architect of the Coyotes’ success.
SPO Rouen is reduced for this meeting due to the unavailability due to a forefoot injury of rookie Thibault Poret (21), rising star of French table tennis, world n°33 and recent European champion with the French team.
