The US women’s badminton team ended the 2016 Uber Cup on a high note by sweeping Mauritius to finish third in their group Iris Wang got the US on the board with a 21-10, 21-6 win before the first three set match of the Uber Cup for the US saw Crystal Pan get a 14-21, 21-14, 15-5 (retired) win. The US clinched the win with Annie Xu‘s 21-9, 21-7 win in the third singles match. Pan and Wang got a walkover in their doubles match before Xu and twin sister Kerry Xu won 21-9, 21-11 to clinch the sweep for the US. It was the first Uber Cup win for the US since 1978, though the format in the past has not provided them this easy of opposition.
