French Open 2021: Brice Leverdez vs Chou Tien-Chen Preview

Leverdez is coming off a hard-fought win over India’s P Kashyap in the first round. Brice toppled Kashyap 21-17, 17-21, 21-11 in a match that last an hour and four minutes. Tien-Chen on the other hand toppled HS Pranoy to make it to the Roud of 16. The fourth seed outshined the Indian in straight games of 21-11, 21-14 in just over 30 mins.

Brice Leverdez vs Chou Tien-Chen Head to Head

The French Open meeting will be the second time Brice and Chen clash in a BWF tournament. The last time the duo faced off was in the Indonesia Masters back in 2018. It too was a Round of 16 clash where Chen had the better of the Frenchman as he was outclassed in straight games.

Brice Leverdez vs Chou Tien-Chen Prediction

Brice, who is ranked 37th in the world, is expected to face a steep challenge from Tien-Chen. The Frenchman’s 401 career wins compared to Chen’s 411 means there is not much separating the two when it comes to experience. Yet, Brice is expected to bow out of the tournament against the Taipei shuttler given the fourth seed’s recent run of form.

Prediction: Chou Tien-Chen to win in straight games.
