For the ninth day of the championship, Félix Lebrun and his partners easily beat the bottom team, Chartres.

The ANMTT continues to travel to different venues in Nîmes and Montpellier without this having a negative effect on the performances of its players. When you have the world's 4th player in your ranks with his 18 years of carefree spirit, you can travel peacefully even when you play at home.

Two days after the fiery atmosphere of the Halle André-Vacheresse in Roanne (Loire) and its 5,000 spectators going crazy for a delayed Pro A Gentlemen match (3-0 victory for the ANMTT), the Languedociens faced the hushed atmosphere of the Palais des sports Jacques Chaban-Delmas in Castelnau-le-Lez. And there again, it was not enough to disturb Félix Lebrun and his partners.

Without Alexis, the ANMTT is strolling

This Thursday evening, you couldn't have been late to see the best French player at work. Facing Antoine Noirault in the opening match against Chartres, the youngest of the Lebrun brothers played his game as calmly as possible. In three dry sets and fifteen short minutes (115, 11-5, 11-5), the audience at the Palais des sports in Castelnau saw the last racket strokes in France in 2024 of the phenomenon.

His brother Alexis, seated on the bench and not invited by his coach Vincent Avril participated, was then able to encourage his partner Antoine Hachard who brilliantly won his match against the Hungarian from Chartres Bence Majoros.

Solid in the important moments, the 30-year-old player won the first two sets (11-8, 11-9). Manhandled at the start of the third set, he turned the situation around to offer a second point to his team (11-8). It was then Grégoire Jean's turn to finish the job. Facing Ecuadorian Alberto Mino, he had to fight to get through but finally won in four sets (3-1).

Félix Lebrun: “Crazy moments”

“We're having a great start to the year in the championship and in the Champions League,” rejoiced Félix Lebrun after signing a round of autographs. For now, all the objectives have been achieved, we want to continue on this path. We're having crazy moments together.”

With a second victory in Pro A this week, the ANMTT men's team will spend the holidays in the warm, at the top of the Pro A rankings. In the meantime, the Nîmo-Montpelliérains are going to Austria for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Sunday.
