Alexis Felix Lebrun vs Fan Zhendong Wang Chuqin | Durban 2023 World Table Tennis Championships

[@patrick.herras]

WCQ's mamba mentality! Fzd got carried in the last set 😂

[@jeffmao1975]

What happend at the end?

[@mutuachris5976]

Lebrun brothers should have got a card for smashing that ball away

[@MightyOff1ine]

Wang was hiding his serve with the head. And that was not the only illegal serve in this match.

@@MightyOff1ine Instead Lebran brs are cheating in service. In this way u cant take over.

@@MightyOff1ine so were the lebrun brothers

[@alifahmed9309]

I think it's fine, because he first indicated that the ball is broken.

[@lalitmohan9911]

These two brothers' behaviour on court deserves punishment. Intimidation, unsporting gesture towards opponent , arrogance is onvious.

A wonderful example of: if you can’t defeat them with talent, defeat them with petty tactics.

Can someone explain to me what the Lebrun brothers were claiming at minute 8:30??

[@pingspiritpingspirit4099]

He says the Chinese player is talking when the point isn't finished.

[@21centdregs]

FZD "cho'd" when the ball went into the net, but because he did it immediately the lebrun bros claimed he spoke during the point.

[@niallyshere]

@@21centdregs if you listen closely, FZD "cho'd" when the ball was pretty much in the net.. there's not way it interfered in Alexis's shot

2 petty france brothers.

WCQ plays to illegal serves in the last set at 9:7

[@markusmaier2325]

There is nothing illegal about that service

[@JesseWhite10]

in reality the most of his serve is hidden 4:36 try to see the impact of the racket with the ball in 0.25 and dont forget we have so much better angle than felix

[@Spacevet]

@@markusmaier2325 ​ @markusmaier2325 Have you ever played table tennnis? The ball should be visible for the opponent all the time when you serve. You can clearly see that he hide the ball with his head 10:47. And yes 4:36 also and guessing alot more from both parts. The problem is that its hard for the umpire to tell.

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

​@@Spacevetthe thing is that rule was set to stop from hiding the contact because you can't tell what spin is on the ball. Covering the ball with head is not that big of a deal to call be you can clearly see the contact.

[@Peace123-sp1ej]

@@Spacevet I played video with speed at 0.25x and resolution of 1080p then paused it at 4:36 and 10:47 respectively. Then, used the period (.) key and comma (,) key to go frame by frame and back and forth. And, I agree with you that the ball was hidden by Wang's head when it was on the way down; but when it made contact with the paddle, the ball was below his chin. Just out of curiosity, I did the same thing on Felix's serve at ~4:53 and the ball was also behind his head but since FZD is the righty and was returning the service with FH, he had no problem seeing. But if it were Wang ( a lefty ) returning the service, it would be a different story. Again, you have to play it frame by frame to see if you agree.

[@s.z.z.5921]

No good game for Fan

[@goranmancevski5550]

It looks like they need nevro medicaments.

[@markusmaier2325]

Both Lebrun should just shut their mouth telling anybody how to behave. They always jump during the toss of the opponent for service! They rush their service. They have not sportsmanship

[@DmitryTumaykin]

nothing wrong about jumping during the toss of the opponent :D and again, nothing wrong about rushing their service, it's as fast as their game, that's their tempo and they have all the right to have it. As long as the opponent does not signify he's not ready to receive, he is considered ready to receive. Not ready? Hand up (like Fan did a couple of times). Easy.

[@21centdregs]

theyre trying for cheap points and gettin heated because they're young. i'd imagine all that will fade with time

[@MikhaillllKing]

cope

Évidemment que les Chinois ont joué avec le règlement...
