Alexis Lebrun Achieves Historic Double Victory at European Table Tennis Championships
The French table tennis star claims both singles and doubles titles, avenging his brother's earlier defeat in Linz.
- Alexis Lebrun, 21, won his first European singles title by defeating Germany's Benedikt Duda in a decisive 4-0 match.
- Earlier, Alexis and his brother Félix secured the European doubles championship, marking France's first such victory in 20 years.
- Félix Lebrun faced disappointment in the singles quarterfinals, losing to Duda and receiving a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct.
- Despite Félix's setback, the brothers celebrated their doubles triumph with a lighthearted boxing-themed victory dance.
- Alexis's victory makes him the third Frenchman to win the European singles title, following Emmanuel Lebesson and Jacques Secrétin.
