Table tennis prodigy brothers Alexis and Félix Lebrun obviously know each other inside out. They reveal themselves in a joint interview.
Went on holiday to Barcelona, after having thrilled all of France during the Paris 2024 Olympic Gamesthe young table tennis prodigy brothers Alexis and Félix Lebrun discovered on Wednesday an interview they gave to the media Konbini. In this “BFF interview” (for best friends foreverbest friends for life), the 20-year-old elder and his 17-year-old younger answer questions about each other. We first learn that, as big tennis fans, Alexis idolizes Rafael Nadal and Félix, Roger Federer.
In this little game, we discover that the biggest, Alexis, is “the funniest” but also “the laziest” of the two, while little Felix has the defect of being ” late “as his brother points out. “I love being late”confirms the one who won the bronze medal in the individual by avenging his big brother against the Brazilian Hugo Calderano. Félix Lebrun is world number 5 even before he comes of age and was therefore highly anticipated during the table tennis event of the Olympic Games.

Alexis and Félix also compete on the console on Fifa, as they reveal in this joint interview. The two brothers from Montpellier are indeed big football fans but do not support the same club. They are even rivals. The older one supports OM and revealed, last year in Stade 2that he prepared for ping pong matches by listening Jump by Van Halen (the music that accompanies the players’ entrance into the Stade Vélodrome). The youngest is fully behind OL and the Rhone club rightly congratulated him on his bronze medal.
The two brothers won, with Simon Gauzy, the small team final, against Japan, in a delirious Arena Paris Sud. Four days after his bronze medal, Félix offered 3rd place to France by dominating Hiroto Shinozuka, 24 years after the bronze won in doubles by Jean-Philippe Gatien and Patrick Chila at the Sydney Olympics in 2000
