Молодцы такие братья!)

he took a game off Ma Long last week. For a 15 year old that is amazing.

Bro, they gonna be champions soon enough, they gonna battle with fzd, ma long and wang, and beat them at some point

Alexis is top 26 now and getting better. He will end up being top 10 before end of the year

@@jorgeinostroza6675 he never became top 10

its not a lost art ffs...

@@emillyyelen5169 give me five players except Xu Xin and Lebrun

@@Keepcalm-lovesports Wong Chun Ting, Dang Qui, Ni Xialian, Xue Fei, Zhao Zihao those are quite notable if you ask me

@@tibes7105 You are right, even though I googled Ni Xialan and she is almost 60. There is definitely not many (good) penholder players outside China though.

he is number 10 now, at 17 so you fell short

Félix took a lot from his chinese player mentor (the "Cho-le!", the penhold grip...)

il faudra voir ce que donneront les confrontations des frères Lebrun avec les meilleurs joueurs chinois

@@krileb31 Tout à fait Alain! 👍

@@krileb31 A 18 ans, son frangin a déjà rousté le numéro 4 et 9 mondiale.

Merci!

maybe you right but he needs to stop with that raised left hand like a gay. makes me cringe when i watch him. like Kanak pulling his shirt on the left shoulder while he's a righty on every point. makes no sense. i hate when people have weird manners like that. or even Ovtcharov wiping the outside of his left hand against his short for no reason after every point. if he needs to wipe it, shouldn't it be the palm where you sweat? -_- or Calderano shaking his bat next to his head like a blip blip crazy and blowing air on nothing instead of his hand? his poo-poo stance when receiving with the face going with?

@@jiboo6850 bro these are just rituals we don't understand. They, professional table tennis players need these in order to be able to concentrate. to provide their 100%.

@@szatmarimartin679 no this is a minor form of autism. i play TT and i don't need such things.

lol what do you care

He is already top 6 and not even one year is passed

He's already making history in the world of table tennis, not only because his excelent playing , but also because his decision to go against the flow by choosing a grip that's not common in Europe. I hope he and Dang Qiu fly much, much higher!

You don't see this young guy fishing or lobbing. He is always in a good position to counter the topspins back. He seems to be the kind of player who uses the speed of the opponent but doesn't generate so much speed himself.

@@ttime9947 , he is fast and able to stay close to counterloop or block. That way, he denies his opponent time and opportunity. And his penhold backhand is very accurate, but not a power shot like Franziska. His forehand is also not a Xu Xin that blinds the opponent with speed and spin. The big question is whether he can step up to become a top contender. Is he even the best penholder in Europe? Dang Qiu seems better at the moment. And if he plays the Asians, who are just as fast as him, can he compete? I am fascinated to see whether he can live with their game. I wish him the best.

@@shenzhenpingpong Another question for me is how tall he will become 🤔

@@ttime9947 , look at his brother Alexis.

wdym Felix Lebrun is a penholder

Next year 2023 it will be in -972 position!

Or in the 6th position if we count it differently. .)

@Roy de Vries de Vries at age 2 I believe

pas compris

parle francais stp

Left-handed only

We've seen him agaisnt the other lefty penholder, He Zhiwen.

I would guess a Chinese 😂😅

since his brother is also very good, I would guess mom or dad

His uncle, the Guy with black T-shirt next to Félix on the last picture.

but closer to table

But Truls is cooler, right?

@@ttime9947 It depends on how you define cool. Truls is cool indeed, he takes TT back to the kind of art we saw during the Waldner era.

What's your problem mate. He can shout if he wants, he's just very focused on the game. And he stays very respectful.

@@BARRLEM yo man ma problem ya ask man ? xD As I said for me personally its rather rude if someone is overdoing the shouting especially when there was nothing worth shouting at the point. I had such an opponent myselfe once and gave up in the end as I was so pissed that he was shouting and waving his fist in my direction no matter if he had just luck with net or border or I had some bad luck hitting net and missing the table because of it. If there is a good fight yeah shout if you want but not for every single point no matter if its earned or not, that's just bad manners.

That's where the talent is

Pète un coup
