French star A. Lebrun lost control of his emotions and withdrew from the 2025 WTT Incheon Championship and World Cup

World No. 9 A. Lebrun in the men's singles final of the 2025 French Table Tennis Championships on March 24, facing the world's No. 6 brother F. Lebrun, he lost two games in a row with a 3:2 lead and was reversed by his younger brother to lose the championship, and in a fit of anger, he beat the table in anger and injured his right hand holding the racket, and announced on the 27th that he would withdraw from the WTT Incheon Championships and the Macau World Cup in April.

A. Lebrun, the French "glasses brother", often swallowed yellow cards due to uncontrollable emotions

A. Lebrun uploaded a short video on social media, he said, "I lost to my brother in the men's singles final of the French Championships, first of all, congratulations to him on winning the championship, after the match, due to my emotional loss of control caused a hand injury, I need to leave the court for a period of time for treatment and rehabilitation, I will not attend the recent tournament, this is a lesson, I will try to learn how to better control my emotions, and I hope this will make me stronger." ”

In fact, this is not the first time that A. Lebrun has lost control, on March 14, in the WTT Chongqing Championships, he faced the Chinese star Wang Chuqin in the round of 8, when the score fell behind in the second game, he also beat the mineral water bottle angrily during the sideline break, and also threw the towel angrily during the pause in the third game, but the last time he beat the water bottler, he was fine, and this time he paid a heavy price. A. Lebrun has his right hand in protective gear, but there is no specific timetable for when he will be able to return to the court.

The French Lebrun brothers, who have risen rapidly in the world table tennis arena in the past two years, have excellent skills, but their emotional control on the court has also attracted a lot of negative comments. At the European Championships in October last year, after the "glasses brother" F. Lebrun was reversed by the German good player Duda 3:4 in the men's singles quarterfinals, he also angrily smashed the racket and smashed the LED screen on the sidelines, and was canceled.
