Iris Wang’s stay in Indonesia didn’t last long but she did get a really good competitive match against an opponent who’s at a very similar level to her. Wang lost two sets that had to go to extra points, 22-20, 23-21, to Xiaoyu Liang of Singapore. Wang made a furious comeback in a first set she never lead to draw even at 20-20 after being down 20-15. Liang won the next two points to still grab the set. Set two was much more back and forth with both players trading the lead. Wang seemingly had control of the set at 18-14 but Liang won six of the next seven points to take the lead and finally closed the match on her third match point.

The next Super Series event begins next Tuesday in Sydney, Australia. In the meantime some of the US best will be competing in the National Championships in West Palm Beach, Florida starting Friday.
