Beiwen Zhang had as good a day as anyone on Sunday at the US Badminton National Championships as she won national titles in both women’s singles and women’s doubles. Zhang took care of Ariel Lee in the singles final and wasn’t tested in a 20 minute 21-7, 21-7 win. She joined partner Jing Yu Hong to wrap up a perfect 5-0 weekend in women’s doubles with a dominant opening game 21-0 over #2 seed Deepti Reddy and Yen-Fang Wang before a 21-11 result in game two. Zhang didn’t go three-for-three though as she and partner Yoga Pratama were unable to compete in the mixed doubles final, handing it to Phillip Chew and Jamie Subandhi on a walkover. It seems the issue was with Pratama who also withdrew from his men’s singles third place match. It was back-to-back titles for Zhang in singles and Zhang and Yu Hong in doubles.

The Olympic men’s doubles team of Chew and Sattawat Pongnairat lost their final to Mu He and Ricky Xiu Liuzhou 21-16, 21-13 and Pongnairat also lost the men’s singles final to Charles Gu 21-8, 21-12.

Iris Wang will be competing in the Australian Badminton Open on Wednesday. She opens with He Bingjiao of China. Wang has yet to advance at a Super Series event this year in three tries.
