It's amazing. Felix's mental is very good. His tactics is very clear.

[@mlw22160]

Fantastic performance! Can't wait to see how Felix will develop over the next few years. He is sure to be one of the most legitimate threats to Chinese dominance that we have seen in many years.

This is a very high quality win for felix. Will send waves through the Chinese camp.

[@danielba6886]

this is history, the best under 19 playing against each other

[@VoicesofMusic]

Excellent tactics by Lebrun--effective in changing the spin, speed and placement on every serve and push. I can totally understand why he favors a compact forehand drive with a slight braking motion at the end of the sweep, so that he can return to counter position rapidly and squared up. But I do think changing the torque angle of the drive so that there is a bit more sidespin and power would make him even harder to compete against. Fun to follow his matches.

[@matmagix3845]

I agree. He won't get as much easy power as Ma Lin or Xu Xin who give full extension, but makes up in some other ways. He's a smart cookie though. He changed the serve midway through and kept using it as it was winning pts.

[@vinniepan1005]

The fiery competitive intensity in the eyes of the Lebrun brothers are undeniable !

[@marshuswp3325]

Indeed, gotta love their pure ping pong passion!🔥🔥🔥

[@aboul-elamohamed8063]

Match is totally changed when using back serve, reminded me same comeback tactics concept for Michael Maze when using the lob.

[@ycjason1]

I think the key factor that won Felix the game is actually his short receive, he was able to read LSD's server very well and not allow LSD to have any easy third ball attack chances.

THIS was the match I wanted to see ! I was waiting for this !!! And It was incredible !!! this two players are so good !! and young !! I thought Lin Shindong could become a number one in the future but wasn't expecting that Felix become so good !! He is the European player with the best technic I've seen ! Surely Truls is good too but to me Felix seems to has a better Foodwork etc

Hahaha cheeky! 😁

[@cocochocko3783]

He destroyed truls in European championship team but his brother lost 2 matches witch cost the French the lost but French coach are dumb they put Alexis before to Felix they should have switched them and with that France could win the European championship.

His footwork is really good indeed 😅

[@yannguillou3536]

@@pabloguevara5438 to become a vegetarian can both improve or degrade one's health, it depends on wether the change is made gradually or not.

[@sebastienguerrero6323]

Beyond gameplan, tactical acumen and technical abilities I really think Felix's main strengh is his mental fortitude. He never seems to be overwhelmed, he's always battling to catch up if needed, always believing in himself. Maybe I'm extrapolating from Li Shidong's attitude but he seemed a bit nervous behind his calmness (I may not be phrasing it properly...), he didn't ooze confidence unlike Felix in my opinion. Both are formidable players and Li Shidong will certainly take his revenge later.

[@eloimumford5247]

revenge is the name of the game , in ping pong nothing is set in stone , good analysis.

Nice analysis, thanks for our french prodigy 😃

good to see Felix using Chinese uncle style (street skilled) serve to win the game. Well done!

Yep, that was unexpected and so effective against Lin. He was probably not ready for that.

I was thinking the same thing. That's the type of serve you'd see an uncle do at your local TT club or the park.

[@aerotus888]

omgggggggg! insane win!!!

[@teguhh14]

Felix RPB is the best now, he can vary spin speed power and placement. Even Lin, who has a good backhand, try to avoid backhand to backhand exchange. I think this is the key why Felix won. If Felix forehand improve further, then he will become even greater treat for the Chinese

[@peaceandlove2555]

My new héroe Félix Lebrun. Viva la France 🇫🇷

[@paulbismuth10]

What a one sided match ( Lin seemed to have no answer it's weird) once Félix get a stronger forearm he would be almost in the top 5. A lot of new young players like these 2 make the game so interesting.

[@seandavid680]

Good thing that his backhand has wrist power. But he needs to strengthen his forearm like twisting more his body stance

So much nostalgia each time I see Wang Hao. I was so glad when he clinched the world title in 2009 after 2 heartbreaks in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics finals. He was an elite player and this close to become legendary and he is now an elite coach whose progress is closely monitored by Liu Guoliang. I hope Wang Hao will keep on being successful.

MAGNIFIQUE COMPETITION BRAVO LE GRAND FELIX👍👍👍

[@richmondlau5945]

felix's backhand is crazy for a penhold. his serves look so simple to compared to others, like at 18:18, but theres so much variation. future of table tennis is looking good on both sides of the table

[@conjurermast]

That was a pretty a good serve. Some players still waste a lot of mental and physical effort to hide the serve, but I'm sceptical how useful that is within the current rules.

[@simensmith]

Wow, as soon as Felix saw that different serve was working he sticked to it throughout the game and almost won every point when he served

[@michaelshaw7652]

Great game from Felix, the youngest and the best penhold player in the world. His development has out paced his big brother Alex. Felix has a really fast pace that usually puts lots of stress on his opponents. Lin's powerful backhand was off today due in a large part to Felix's pace and placement. In most sports, quickness and speed are the most important, more so in table tennis. Felix is fast, yet he is also quite consistent. He will be in top 10 and stay there for sure.

This commentator was certainly enjoying the match (like everybody else except maybe some Chinese but I am sure a lot of them enjoyed this match nonetheless) and made relevant remarks but which French commentator are you referring to? I am quite curious and it's been a very long time since I listened to French commentators. I used to watch matches with the former coach of Jean-Philippe Gatien commenting and he was certainly interesting (and quite articulate haha). I hope we can have Adam Bobrow as well in the forthcoming days, he is such a passionate guy!
