Alexis Lebrun joined the last square of Singapore on Friday, February 7, February 7, February 7, the first major tournament of the season, beating the German and N.10 Mondial Dan Qiu (4-2) in the quarterfinals. The Frenchman, 14ᵉ in the world, had never reached the quarters in a tournament in this category, the highest in the WTT circuit. He does even better after this victory against Dang Qiu-which he had notably defeated on the road to his European title last October in Austria-after 45 minutes of play (11-9, 5-11, 11-7, 11- 8, 6-11, 11-4). Since the introduction of the big Smash in 2022, no French has yet participated in a final. Alexis Lebrun will have a lot to do to break this barrier since he will find the world N.2 on Saturday, the Chinese Lin Shidong, a fall on his side of the Taiwanese Yun-Ju lin (11th), 4-1.
