David Zhuang (7-1) established himself as the number one seed heading into the last day of competition with a six game victory over Mark Hazinski (11-7)(8-11)(11-8)(7-11)(11-5)(11-9), who feel to 5-3.

After the match, Zhuang ran over and gave his coach a high five before slamming his racket down in celebration. He then pumped his fist and screamed to the crowd, which seemed to like his flare for the game.

Eric Owens was defeated by Yinghua Cheng (11-7)(11-9)(8-11)(6-11)(8-11)(5-11), in another match featuring two of the trials’ top players. Both men are tied for second place with 6-2 records.

Khoa Nguyen (5-3) regained his winning ways with a victory over local favorite Razvan Cretu (12-10)(11-4)(9-11)(13-11)(15-13). Cretu is in 8th place with a 3-5 record.

Yu Shao (5-3) swept John Leach, who is 1-7, with scores of (11-8)(11-9)(18-16)(11-8).

Han Xiao (6-2) is tied with Eric Owens for second place heading into the last day. He defeated Sean Lonergan (2-6) in a very tough match that went the distance (8-11)(11-8)(11-1)(11-9)(9-11)(8-11)(11-8).

Tahl Leibovitz remains winless after Adam Hugh, 2-6 overall, routed him (11-4)(11-4)(11-6)(11-9).
