Most of the top competitors at the US Badminton National Championships didn’t have to play at all on Friday night to open the event. That wasn’t the case for Beiwen Zhang and Jing Yu Hong in women’s doubles. The defending national championships faced Ariel Lee and Sydney Lee and emerged with a 21-10, 21-9 win. The women’s doubles field is just six deep so there is a round robin competition going on while the other competitions are elimination tournaments.

Things continue on Saturday with the rest of the top competitors getting in to action.
