The 2024 WTT Finals in Fukuoka delivered a spectacular finale to a season, with thrilling matches and unforgettable moments in the Infinity Arena. Among the standout performances, French siblings Felix and Alexis LEBRUN emerged victorious in the men’s doubles final, marking a career-defining moment.
The LEBRUN brothers claimed their second WTT Series title as a pairings, defeating Japan’s Hiroto SHINOZUKA and Shunsuke TOGAMI in a gripping 3-2 encounter (14-12, 12-14, 6-11, 11-7, 4-11). This triumph not only avenges their semifinal finish in last year’s WTT Finals in Doha but also establishes them as one of the top duos in the sport.
“We dreamed of this moment and believed in our chances, but to actually win this title is just amazing. We played so well throughout the tournament, and sharing this moment with Felix is unforgettable,” said Alexis LEBRUN.
