Momentum shifts reigned in the match between Adam Hugh and Yu Shao. Shao made Hugh dive for volleys left and right in the crucial set three to take a 2-1 set lead. However, Hugh came storming back and dominated set four, 11-1, to even the match. Just when you think Hugh was going to take over the match, Shao rebounded in set five 11-2. With his back against the wall, Hugh (3-7) stormed back to win set six 11-5 and he had a 10-7 lead in set seven. Shao (7-3), still fighting to clinch an Olympic spot, buckled down and won five straight points to win the set 12-10 and the match four sets to three.

Yinghua Cheng (8-2) pulled himself into a tie for first place by winning a key match against David Zhuang (8-2). Cheng only needed five sets to dispose of the former leader (11-9) (11-8) (7-11) (11-9) (11-5).

Han Xiao (8-2) is also in a tie for first after beating John Leach (1-9) in six sets (11-4) (13-11) (11-4) (10-12) (11-6) (11-6).

Tahl Leibovitz (0-10) just cannot get anything to go his way this weekend. Eric Owens (8-3) was able to dispatch Leibovitz in straight sets (11-3) (11-7) (11-6) (11-7).

Sean Lonergan (3-7) and Mark Hazinski (7-3) earned cheap victories as both of their opponents forfeited.
