Feng Yi-Hsin vs Alexis Lebrun | MS R16 | #WTTSaoJose 2026

Great touch, had to play the long push in the end. Oh what a lovely forehand block across court. Good work from Alexey out of the middle. Good opportunity for the Chinese Taipei man. Yeah very very tough battles, come through many of them. Couldn't quite get back to it. Alexey working hard to stay up to the table. In the end it's just the edge ball. Watch carefully on this next one. Oh what a great recovery shot. And takes the first game. The recovery shots. There's Wong Chun Ting and Du Hoi Kem for Hong Kong. For Japan it's Odo. So this is the Brazilian version. Oh superb. And he builds. Love going across the diagonal. So keen to get on with the match. I don't want anyone around for bouncy, very enthusiastic, very springy, very dynamic. So relaxed Alexey. Top edge. Just a bit of a break there. Alexey goes away from the table. So having lost the first, after having a slight lead, Alexey in a matter of just a couple of minutes has squared it. He'll be receiving serve at the start of this third game. Short return of service. Slightly long or high. Had less spin. Intelligent play there from the Frenchman. Alexey impressed with Feng's ability to keep up. Nothing in it. One all, five all. World team championships against Germany. He beat Chou Dang, world number 10. Pressure a point ahead. Here he comes again. The follow-up for the service so hard. Feng gets the first one back. Right out of the middle. Well done Feng. Still no points there. Oh Alexey loves it back there. Bended very well there. Just off from Alexey. Two games to one. Now in for his own services. That will do. A touch on the ball. A hit so hard. Player to player during the point. Side's been chop blocked from Alexey. Five all. How does Feng get that first attack back? Oh wide of the forehand. Can't afford to lose a couple now. End the fantastic block but Alexey fast again. Match point. A touch on the return there but a left serve. Fast serve. And there it is. Backhand across court. Alexey takes it. That means a lot to him. The number C goes through into the quarterfinals. We have to say goodbye.
