FULL MATCH | Felix Lebrun vs Tomokazu Harimoto | MS F |

[@floetryhfk]

Dear Cutters, please never cut out the handshake of players after the match. This is the finishing scene of every match.

[@GeneralTerzX]

It's an AI that cuts this. It hasn't been trained to show the handshake I suppose.

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

You can literally cut 0.1 seconds after the handshake. It's funny how you don't miss something until it's not there.

[@andygordonwilson3528]

100% I really value this part of the match where you get to see the respect and human connection between the players....maybe that's what the AI algorithm objected to though!

[@OlivierLebo-n3h]

I saw the handshake, they both kind of hug and Harimoto was very gracious. Seems like they appreciate each other.

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

@@OlivierLebo-n3h Thank you Mr. Handshake Guy. I'll be looking forward to your updates on all the handshakes we miss in the future.

Both brothers are going to see some positive growth in their rankings. Harimoto (in this case Harimotos) fought well and should see some growth for him too. I still can't believe Felix 4-0d LSD after he rose to #3 in the world. We have Felix beating #3 LSD, Benyamin beating #1 WCQ, Duda beating #4 Liang Jingkun and #9 Lin Gaoyuan. Where's Ma Long when you need him? Will FZD come back to save the day?

What a blast that tournament has been. Amazing matches, great crowd. Well done Felix!

[@danielflores4278]

Congratulations to Félix! Great tournament, wonderful points and matches by him. Congratulations to Harimoto siblings too. Incredible audience French people 🤘

[@xiangruizhou]

Felix is the greatest pen-hold TT player after Xin Xu. I think most Chinese like to see more and more foreign TT players can catch up with their Chinese opponents' top levels so that TT games can become more and more exciting and charming.

[@CrAzzyWak]

I think he's better than Xu Xin (mainly because of his backhand). And Xu Xin used to be my favorite player.

[@ruffeyy7893]

@@CrAzzyWaki dont think he is better than xuxin but we will see what the future holds

[@martialpigneret20]

Non et non. Déjà un Félix est très très bon et sans doute avec le jeune N°2 mondial chinois l'un des 2 pongiste les plus en forme du moment, mais il est à des années lumières des meilleurs de l'Histoire du ping. Quant à Xin XU c'est une blague??? Il était bon en double oui mais en simple... Il a gagné qu'une médaille olympique, il fût N°1 mondial ok mais bon rien à voir avec Fan ou Wang (actuel N°1). Vous oubliez quand même dans l'ordre Zhan Jike on parle de 3 médailles d'or et une d'argent puis Ma Lin et Ma long trois d'or chacun, Wang Hao 5 médailles en tout, Lui Guoliang 4 médailes dont 2 d'or, Kong Linghui 3 médailles dont 2 d'or, Wang Liqin, 4 médailles, Wang Tao 3 médailles, Lu Lin plus encore 2 joueurs coréens, le goat Jan-Ove Waldner, qui a tout gagné et qui est considéré comme le joueur le plus doué. Vu votre nom et la langue utilisé je pense qu'il y a une forte probabilité que vous soyez chinois, comment peut-on dire de telles inepties alors que c'est votre sport national??? Comme on dit ce sont toujours les cordonniers les plus mal chaussés, bah changez de chaussures. Pour en revenir à Félix ce qu'il a fait à Montpellier c'est génial, incroyable, mais pour être le meilleur, il faut le faire tout le temps pendant des années et là il convient de dire que le chemin est difficile et incertain. Son vrai exploit c'est d'avoir battu le meilleur joueur du moment Lin Shidong, mais même avec cette victoire, il reste derrière lui tant au classement qu'au niveau des finales gagnées dans les tournois internationaux cette année, et il n'y a pas photo entre les deux. Même si Félix remporte le prochain, Lin Shidong sera toujours devant en tenant compte de ces 2 critères. Ne crachons pas dans la soupe Félix reste sans doute le meilleur sinon l'un des meilleurs joueur européen de tous les temps (exception faite de Jan-Ove) et il est très jeune; Alexis est revenu à son meilleur niveau il va faire mal à pas mal de joueurs également. Les titres et les tournois pourraient bien se jouer entre Wang , Lin, Félix avec peut-être des troubles fêtes comme Fan, Liang, Calderano ou encore Harimoto et pourquoi pas Alexis qui a retrouvé son meilleur niveau. Ou un illustre inconnu sorti tout droit d'un chapeau d'un entraîneur chinois...

[@desarguesbaptiste5577]

​@@martialpigneret20 je comprends pas trop l'intérêt de répondre au commentaire en parlant de Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Waldner ou encore Fan. Plus haut, il ne parle que des joueurs qui joue en prise porte-plume. Par contre je pense qu'il ne faut pas enterrer Wang Hao ou Ma Lin qui étaient des joueurs phénomènaux (et au dessus de Felix ou de Xu Xin, au moins pour Wang Hao, c'est sûr). Ensuite je vous pas pourquoi le fait d'être chinois empêcherait de faire un commentaire manquant de culture pongistique. Si l'auteur du message est jeune il est très probable qu'il ne connaisse pas les joueurs dont tu as parlé et d'ailleurs c'est très difficile de comparer Waldner aux joueurs d'ajd. D'ailleurs quand on parle de joueurs européens il n'est pas clair que Félix soit au dessus de Samsonov, Boll ou encore Ovtcharov qui ont été quand même très très fort.

[@whiskhot]

@@martialpigneret20 Vous êtes hors sujet. Le sujet était à propos de la prise porte-plume/penholder que Félix Lebrun et Xu Xin utilisent et absoluement pas de faire une liste subjective des performances des joueurs à travers le temps. C'est bien beau d'écrire un pavé hors sujet mais ce sera encore mieux de savoire lire.
