[@chinpinhon]

At 8:4 in the first game and with the umpire awarding the point to Fan Zhendong, he actually indicated the ball clipped the edge and gave the point to Alexis Lebrun instead. What a sportsman!

[@Allwhaika]

Это не более, чем норма: профессиональная спортивная этика.

[@truthforever5637]

[@noneone3310]

as a chinese viewer, i'm happy for fan, he showed strong mentality under pressure, that's the key to become a true champion. and for the young french player, very good and so much potential, i won't be surprised if one day he become No.1, hope to see him more and more. gg

[@tomgates6598]

Make no mistake, FZ had to play all out to win this match - that was a 110% World Championship effort he just put on the line. Lebrun is a hurricane force rising - a future World Champion in the making.

[@benthekeeshond545]

Lebrun has a better record against the Chinese National Players but he is not as consistent as his brother, Felix. Lebrun has to win against other players to get to the Chinese players. Also, Felix has not fully developed yet and will gain more power/spin to his strokes. I would say Felix has a brighter future.

[@user-gu2dc2dx6g]

Alexis semble plus à son avantage que Félix pour jouer Fan Zhendong. Incroyable prestation. Du très beau jeu. High level!!! Bravo Alexis. Fier de vous suivre.🇨🇵🇨🇵👏👏

My God! They were real fireworks. When Mr. Fan was at his normal self, there was only one player who could out-slugged him. That was Ma Long. In this match, Alexis almost out-slugged Fan Zhendong. At the end, Alexis faced many match points and saved a few of them. That was championship caliber. Congrats to Fan Zhendong!

[@KrazeeRich]

​ @thabom9791 La réalité est que par équipe homme et femme, personne ne peut faire douter les chinois. Les gars ont les 5 meilleurs mondiaux dans leur équipe. Le tennis de table est le sport national chinois avec 120 milions de licenciés, ils sotn des milliards. De plus ils ont une rigueur militaire dans l'application des consignes des coachs, qui fait qu'en match la stratégie est vérouillée surtout dans une finale contre l'avenir du ping européen qu'ils ont pris très au sérieux la ou nous on était juste content d'arriver a ce niveau. Dans leur équipe, ces gens sont totalement déshumanisés et conditionnés au ping, aucune émotion doit transparaitre, il n'y a qu'a voir leur visage pendant le match. On a même l impressions qu ils ne prennent même plus de plaisir a gagner. Je préfère perdre français que de gagner dans l'équipe nationale chinoise et en faisant le robot toute ma carrière.

[@freyc1]

They have just won a silver medal, in a championship the Chinese team has won ten times consecutively. Alexis was one point away from beating Fan Zhendong for the second time in a row while Félix has established himself has the best non-Chinese player in the rankings. Of course the best Chinese players are still far superior, but suggesting all they do is talk is ridiculous. @earseley7792

[@SkyKaiZ]

I feel like the rule need to be specified if the receiving player has to get ready for the serving player or if the serving player has to wait for the receiving player. Alexis always serves without waiting if the opponent is ready or not. I would prefer the server to serve when the receiving player is ready.

[@Gryffins90]

No it shouldn't. The chinese are notorious to be very long between serves to dictate the timing of the game but it is against the rules to stall the game. That's why FZD got a yellow card.

[@mmh03117]

@@Gryffins90They are just trying everything to help non Chinese player😂

[@stevejohnson6684]

The best way to avoid the ambiguity is to implement a time clock (as soon as the previous point is over) as in tennis. In this way, it would be fair for both the server and the receiver.

what a match

[@fungkam7501]

What an exicting match! In the 4th set, I thought Fan was going to lose and his eyes looked empty and desparate. But what a dramatic turn around and a probably sleepless night for the French kid. Most of the losing points are at his void of fronthand. But a bright future ahead.

[@donalddouglas7643]

the disappointment in the voice of the commentators when Fan won the fourth game was so obvious . It is ad they lived all their lives hoping to see Alixi beating . Fan seems to me they go to bed thinking of the end of Chinese dominance of TT long live China's dominance of Mens Table Tennis.from Jamaica They are the most entertaining to watch and bring so much to the game and they are so humble in winning or loosng ..

Alexis Lebrun is going to be one of the strongest player of the new time. Fan Zhendong has to look out to loose the first place. He is strong!!!At the end he looses this awesome match,because he needs to work on his physical fitness. He will beat him one time,i am very sure. I saw him in the past years and i said to my friends "he is the one,who will one time rock the table tennis world" and he did it!!! ALEXIS LEBRUN is going to be the best!

[@Zuriki_]

french top players are really young, yet they both already beaten the best Chinese players. Of course they still have a lot to learn, but their potential is unmatched. In a few years they will reach a level that has never been seen in this sport, and you know why? because their mindset is very different. They are powered by love, not only by hard work like Chinese players. China can make good machine players, but this guys are deeply human in their way of playing. They enjoy life, they enjoy what they do, they have personality. They are gonna show the entire world that if you want to be the best, you have to embrasse your entire self, only when you do that you can reach new heights.

[@kyleguo7007]

If they have selected MACHINES,they wouldn’t have been winning over the years, I played there, I can tell you,only the one who is passionate about this game,cares more about winning prevails,and the thing is, there are too many Chinese like this.

[@freyc1]

I love that French team, but I don't see the sign that the gap between China and the rest of the world is narrowing. How often have Chinese players been number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the rankings? Alexis' game is suited to play against FZD, but Félix, who is the number 6, has been absolutely crushed by Wang Chuqin for the second time. A few years ago, Germany could occasionally compete with China, and Sweden before that. Now, it seems only Korea can.

[@lastxp]

Fan had just that little bit more angle on his forehand hooks making lebrun miss the counter many times.

[@CedricMoraux-ut6zr]

Il est fort Alexis

[@user-fq5vl3fl1b]

The umpire was biased against Chinese players. In the deciding game 5, Alexis took a towel break at 5:9 without asking for approval and the umpire did nothing (check 37:03). Alexis should got a yellow card for this as players can only get towel break every 6 points without explicit approval, not at 5:9. The umpire only give Fan a yellow card for so-called non-obvious "delaying game". Check 24:36.

This umpires that don't understand table tennis and ever played table tennis are ruining the sport. The player needs time to think about the game to think on the opponent and oneself; table tennis is not just hitting hard nonr rushing the serve, the player needs to calm down the nervousness to think on the game, relax the legs after vigorous efforts, needs time to choose the next serve Do i do a setup serve, what he is doing now, what are my options that are more profitable to fabricate points, Do i gamble on the serve, 3rd ball attack, 5th ball attack, Do i take advantage of my opponent footwork or anticipation. Table tennis is more than hitting hard but What do this umpires know they never played table tennis in their life.

[@benthekeeshond545]

Completely agree! The beauty and power of TT is that the players have to plan and adjust to what their opponents did or going to do next. I have always said that one day they might change the shape of the TT ball to limit the success of the Chinese national TT team.

Potential wise I think Alexis will surpass Felex again because of his handshake grip superior back hand

[@bryanwells4063]

Alexis plays further from the table with more power and spin variation, Felix plays close to the table with angles and consistency, and cutting the time the opponent has to think and react in half. Both are absolutely insane in their own way but in general being able to have more power in the loop to loop game is the most helpful against the Chinese, Felix definitely lacks this power away from the table, especially on his forehand. But then again, he is still the best non Chinese player in the entire world right now. It's almost a miracle.
