The French did not see the light of day in the semi-finals of the Mixed Table Tennis World Cup, but the Lebrun brothers spoiled this good news.
Lebrun brothers take Mixed World Cup point
For its last match of the Mixed Table Tennis World Cup, the France team faced Japan. Already eliminated, the Blues had nothing to lose against the future finalists of the competition. And it was immediately evident. Indeed, from the first duel, Félix Lebrun gave Tomokazu Harimoto, world number 5, no chance and won three sets to zero (11-5, 11-6, 11-2).

Then comes the men’s doubles match, pitting the Lebrun brothers against Harimoto and Shinozuka. The Blues won the first round, then during the second, the four table tennis players competed for the point of the tournament. And as luck would have it, it was the Lebrun brothers who emerged victorious.

Native of Marseille, I might as well tell you that it is better not to talk to me about football at the moment. Thank you for understanding.
