USATT would like to congratulate Len Yang who was successfully selected as a member of the World Hopes Team (11/12 year old) after his results at the Trial which was held in Doha, Qatar. Len follows in the footsteps of other Hopes players who have developed into highly competitive senior players in the US National Team the likes of Amy Wang, Victor Liu and Nikhil Kumar among others.

Len advanced to the finals stage of the trial with a narrow 12-10 in the 5th win over a Hungarian opponent before falling 3-0 in the final to Navid Shams from Iran.

Rachel Sung who competed in the girls singles lost a tight 11-9 in the 5th in the semifinal but succeeded in winning 3-0 to secure 3rd place. A great effort and finish!

The USA continues to have a great playing record in the Hopes program which has proven successful in recognizing and developing talent.

Len will participate in a World Hopes Team training camp and will compete in the World Cadet Challenge as part of the Hopes team which will see him competing against older and more experienced opponents, a great development opportunity!

Well done Len!
