WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2023: Omar Assar and Felix Lebrun face off in Men's Singles
Posted : 06 July 2023
Fans are eagerly anticipating an intense showdown as Omar Assar and Felix Lebrun go head-to-head in the round of 32 Men's Singles match at WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2023.
This will be the first encounter between the two players, and sparks are expected to fly. Both Assar and Lebrun have been in impressive form recently and are determined to maintain their momentum.
Assar made history at the 2023 ITTF World Championships Finals, becoming the first Egyptian to reach the Men's Singles quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Lebrun has been rapidly climbing the World Rankings, reaching a career-high of No.17 from his initial position at No.73 at the start of the year.
These passionate athletes will leave no room for compromise as they step onto the table in Slovenia. With past successes in WTT Star Contender events, they will draw upon those fond memories and strive to replicate their previous performances in this prestigious tournament.
Assar showcased his skills at last year's WTT Star Contender European Summer Series, where he stunned the crowd with a thrilling victory over Tomokazu Harimoto. To face the challenges ahead, Assar will need to display that level of form once again, as Lebrun possesses a similar fast-paced counterattacking style.
Lebrun, on the other hand, will be determined to spoil Assar's plans. The 16-year-old has been on an impressive streak this year, elevating his game to new heights and boasting a remarkable 73% win rate.
One of Lebrun's season highlights was his victory over Jang Woojin in the quarterfinals of WTT Star Contender Goa. In Ljubljana, he demonstrated his dominance with a comfortable straight-games win over Robert Gardos. With an ever-growing list of accomplished opponents, Lebrun has proven himself to be a rising star in the sport.
The winner of this match not only secures a spot in the round of 16 but could potentially set up a clash with Slovenia's own Darko Jorgic if he triumphs over Alvaro Robles.
Assar and Lebrun are scheduled to battle it out today at 16:45 (GMT+2) on Table 3 at Hala Tivoli. Don't miss the excitement as the match unfolds this afternoon.
