In Montpellier, Lily Zhang and Manika Batra are set to rekindle their rivalry after eight years, with both players enjoying impressive seasons.
Zhang made headlines by securing her first international singles title at the WTT Feeder Manchester, while Batra gained recognition for her remarkable victory over Wang Manyu at the Saudi Smash.
This match represents an opportunity for both players to break through the WTT Champions round of 16 barrier, marking a significant moment in their careers.
Another exciting clash features Marcos Freitas facing off against Alexis Lebrun. Freitas holds a perfect record of 3-0 against Lebrun, but the young Frenchman is on a roll this season, remaining undefeated in round of 32 matches and securing his first WTT Series singles title at the WTT Contender Zagreb.
Freitas, however, is eager to end a dry spell, having not won a WTT Champions match since 2022. The matchup will be a test of Freitas's experience against Lebrun's rising momentum in front of a home crowd.
Suh Hyo Won and Prithika Pavade are also set for a critical showdown, with both players aiming for a spot at the WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024. Suh, currently ranked No. 18 in the Race to WTT Finals, faces Pavade, ranked No. 20.
This match could significantly influence their standings, showcasing a tactical battle between Suh's defensive prowess and Pavade's aggressive style. The night’s lineup continues with Felix Lebrun battling Simon Gauzy in an all-French duel, while Adriana Diaz takes on Sreeja Akula, with both players looking to enhance their chances for WTT Finals qualification.
