U.S. Women’s Doubles, Men’s Singles, and Men’s Doubles Finish Up Group Play on Day 4 at Paris 2024

In Men’s Doubles, Vinson Chiu and Joshua Yuan had the most difficult match of their tournament so far as they faced the reigning Olympic gold medalists from Chinese Taipei, Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin. Chiu and Yuan faced heavy pressure early on, going into the first interval down 3-11 under a flurry of attacking shots. They would end the first game with a loss, 12-21. In the second game, the U.S. pair battled point-for-point to start off the game, going into the interval down only by a few points. The Chinese Taipei pair regained control of the game after the break, however, and Chiu and Yuan would lose the second game 13-21. 

Although the U.S. Men’s Singles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles athletes will not make it out of Group Play for this tournament, they have represented their country well as their Paris 2024 play comes to an end. 

Play continues for the U.S. on Wednesday, July 31, as Women’s Singles athlete Beiwen Zhang finishes out her Group Play in Group K against Vietnam’s Thuy Linh Nguyen at 8:30 AM Paris Time. See here for the full schedule.
