Basically, the CNT is starting to analyze Felix and he will become less challenging to CNT in the future.

According to comments of Chinese folks on YT; they reported that XX mentioned something about "Lebrun has a weak forehand and over relies on his RPB. Lebrun also compensate for his disparity in power/skill with staying close to the table and hitting off the bounce, and usually players who only play that way have weaknesses they're trying to cover up." Weaknesses that the CNT will try to exploit I guess.

It's quite interesting that the first 5 points WCQ got in his match against Felix about a weak ago were all against Felix's forehand. I'm not sure how the veracity of his cursory observation work in a right hander Vs right hander battle though; because it's mostly about backhand efficacy and Felix's RPB and close to the table style can give FZD and LJK big problems in the future.

What's amusing or should I say compelling to me is seeing ex-CNT players and coaches giving their commentary on threats to their former team, and things to look out for. Are they doing these interviews in the capacity of individuals, trainers, Stiga-affiliates, or in non-playing capacities that are structural to the CNT??

 

[zeio]

Mostly as Stiga-affiliates. They have removed all interviews of FZD on YouTube after he jumped ship to Butterfly. Thought they are still on Tencent Video.

Auuuu, i newer though they analyze opponents that deep. Thanks for the video and translation. Love Xu Xin and hope for more videos like this. Thanks once more

XX has updated his "projection" on F. Lebrun.

许昕：小勒布伦如果再把正手练好，威胁就特别大，但直板选手在这个时代很难登顶 (Xu Xin: If Lebrun can improve his forehand, he will be a particularly huge threat, but it's very difficult for penhold players to reach the top in this era)

许昕：因为我以前看过菲利克斯勒布伦分采访，说最崇拜的偶像是陈剑，因为我和陈剑关系也特别好，以前我们都打过一个俱乐部，他以前一直在法国打球。就是我确实能看到陈剑的优点他都继承了，反手特别快，发球也快，相对来说正手差一些 有可能我崇拜一个人的时候，我会把他的特点都吸取到，然后他不好的东西我可能不去借鉴，或者说我要学都一起学了，所以他要是再把正手练好了，我觉得威胁特别大。因为反手真的是天赋很好，一个欧洲运动员上手近台就可以这么快的，给横版制造这种斜线的压力，这个是很不容易的。
毕竟他这么年轻就已经在巴黎奥运会取得这样的成绩是实属不易的，但是我觉得直板运动员，尤其是在这个时代，真的是想登顶很难，不是说看他有没有机会去爆冷或者是说他站在单打最高领奖台上，其实直板要稳定的是世界排名。因为直板会让人觉得突然一下眼前一亮就上去了，突然打不好或者前两轮就下去了，对于直板运动员他要是世界排名一直稳在前四或者前三名的话，我觉得这个运动员的威胁可能会比其他的更大，但首先你要稳住世界排名，因为世界排名不能代表一切，但是代表你的整体竞技稳定性。

Thanks for the post! This is really interesting, I hope Felix can improve his FH in the future, his backhand is already unreal

Oh he definitely has improved his forehand recently especially his forehand flick and over the table drive. And this is only over the past 5-6
Months. So hopefully it will
Become one of his strength soon. If there is something I think he could do better is when he is counter looping back off the table. He still tends to be looping up then forward which has more
Spin but way less penetration. At least that’s what I think

 

[ajtatosmano2]

In the end, Xu Xin's analysis was true. Just there aren't many players who are good enough to capitalize on that. Felix's sheer base skills are crazy. WCQ relied on the same strategy XX said in 2024 and won in the first 3 touches.
