Career

Lebesson started playing table tennis at the age of 5. He made his first international appearances in 2004 at the World Junior Circuit, and in 2005 he won gold with the French team at the European Youth Championship. In 2006 he took part in the World Youth Championship, where he reached the eighth finals in singles and the quarterfinals in doubles. From this year he also competed internationally in the adult division, in 2007 for the first time at a world championship. In doubles with Adrien Mattenet he was among the last 32. This doubles played together in 2008 and 2009, won the French championship in 2008 , qualified for the Grand Finals on the Pro Tour and reached the semifinals there. At the European Championships in 2009 Lebesson won bronze in doubles with Damien Éloi , in the same year he also won the French championship in singles and the Mediterranean Games with the team. In 2010 he won bronze with the French team at the European Championships ; This year he also made it into the top 100 in the world rankings for the first time, and from February 2011 he was able to establish himself there permanently. Together with Adrien Mattenet, he won the French doubles championship for the second time in 2011.

At the Brazil Open 2012 he reached the semi-finals in singles and doubles, which meant his first medal placement in singles on the World Tour. In the world rankings he reached 44th place, which was a new record for him. In 2013, he won the double competition of the French championship for the third time, this time alongside Simon Gauzy . For the 2013/14 season he moved to Boulogne-Billancourt . In 2015, the first European Games took place, in which France met Germany in the semi-finals . Because of Timo Boll's food poisoning, the German team only competed in twos and was practically 2-0 down from the start. With a score of 2: 2, Lebesson beat Dimitrij Ovtcharov 3: 1 in the decisive final game - after defeating Vladimir Samsonov in the quarter-finals, the second victory over a top 10 player in a day - and brought France to the final, the one against Portugal got lost. Overall, Lebesson had a 3-0 double and a 2-0 individual balance in the team competition. At the European Championships later that year there was another semi-final duel with Germany, a 1: 3 defeat meant bronze for the French team. In 2016, France surprisingly won their group at the World Cup with 5 wins out of 5 games and met the English team in the quarter-finals, which they defeated 3-0 in the group stage. However, the quarter-finals were lost 3-2, so the chance for a medal was missed. Nevertheless, this placement was part of a series of continuous improvements since Lebesson's first World Team Championship participation in 2008.

Lebesson successfully took part in the qualification for the Olympic Games in April 2016 and moved up to 36th place in the world rankings, in the months after that up to 30th place. At the Olympic Games, however, he was eliminated in his first game against Adrian Crișan in singles out, in the team competition France lost, as in the World Cup (this time in the round of 16), 2: 3 against the United Kingdom. For the season 2016/17, he joined the French Pro A to Vaillante Angers . At the 2016 European Championships , Lebesson beat Marcos Freitas , who was third in the singles, and finally won the gold medal. After Jacques Secrétin's European title in 1976 , this was the second individual victory for a French. In 2017 he became French champion in singles and also in doubles with Tristan Flore . For the 2017/18 season he joined SPO Rouen . With the French team, he won bronze at the 2017 European Championships after a narrow semi-final defeat against Portugal .

With a wildcard he was able to take part in the World Cup for the first time in Paris in 2018 , where he reached the main round and was eliminated from Timo Boll. In 2019, he won bronze with the team for the third time in a row .
