Both players are aiming for the second round. No advantage to level of motivation

State of form

Alex Lanier continues to have his best bad season this year, having reached the best ranking of his career, namely 16th place in the world. The 19-year-old also became the best Frenchman in the rankings by overtaking the Popov brothers and achieving what no one before him had done: winning a title in an Open ranked Super 750. A few months ago, the Frenchman had simply written history by getting the better of world No. 1 Shi Yuqi in a marathon match lasting more than an hour (17-21 21-16 21-18) with also victories over Lee Zii Jia, world No. 6 and Nishimoto, world No. 11. The weeks that followed this feat were trying for the young man who went through a series of tournaments but who managed to shine in some of them despite everything. First in Finland, he reached the quarter-finals by losing a marathon match against Chou Tien Chen in his quarter-final match. He notably took out world No. 3 Anders Antonsen on his way. The following week, the Frenchman reached the final four with incredible efforts, dominating Viktor Axelsen and Loh Kean Yew before failing physically against Koki Watanabe during his semi-final. Bronze medalist at the junior world championships in October 2023, Alex Lanier also reached the world No. 1 position among juniors in August 2023.

For his part, Chou Tien Chen has also had a series of competitions and performances in recent months. If the Taiwanese player failed in the final in Tokyo against our Frenchman, he took revenge in Finland, a victory on the road to his coronation after successes against Koki Watanabe in the semi-final and against Christie in the final . World No. 8, Chou Tien Chen then performed a little less by failing in the round of 16, whether on the courts of Denmark against the Chinese Weng Hong Yang or last week in Japan where his journey ended in the second round. against Christo Popov in a match where he appeared tired. In the meantime, he did not stop his season by also participating in a Super 300 where he reached the quarter-finals against Rasmus Gemke. During the last Olympic Games, Chou Tien Chen notably dominated Naraoka before reaching the quarter-finals against the Indian Lakshya Sen. Former world No. 2, he notably shone at the start of the year by winning the Thailand Masters before reaching the semi-finals twice at the Thailand Open (defeat to Lee Zii Jia) and Indonesia ( defeat against Shi Yuqi).

Predictions 1-2 of the match Alex Lanier Chou Tien Chen

Both players have delivered an impressive level of badminton over the past few weeks. Despite everything, the Taiwanese seemed to suffer a little more than our Frenchman during the last tournaments because of a longer season than that of Alex Lanier who skipped a few competitions. To rebalance the debates, Lanier could well win again this week. Victory Alex Lanier
