Au lendemain de la déconvenue de son frère Félix, Alexis Lebrun (14) a brillamment décroché son ticket pour les huitièmes de finale du Grand Smash de Singapour, ce mercredi 5 février, face au Japonais Hiroto Shinokuza (26e).

The French day couldn't have started better. Alexis Lebrun, who was playing the 2nd round of the Singapore Grand Smash at 6:45 a.m. (French time), won against Japan's Hiroto Shinokuza. Without trembling, in three sets: 11-8,11-8,13-11.

He reached the round of 16, where he will face China's Xue Fei, world number 53, who defeated world number three Tomokazu Harimoto in four sets (11-6,11-6,6-11,11-6). An opponent who is certainly more approachable, but who will undoubtedly want to play the party pooper one more round.

A second chance to qualify with his brother

Despite his elimination in singles, all is not over for Félix Lebrun. Competing in doubles alongside his brother, he will try to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Singapore Grand Smash.

The Lebrun brothers will face the South Korean pair, Lim Jonghoon and An Jaehyun, this Wednesday, February 5 at 11:35 a.m. A match to follow on the RMC Sport Youtube and Twitch channel.
