Grayson Goldin goes through in the Men's Singles, Zane Navratil and George Wall in the Men's Doubles, and Ting Chieh Wei and Hunter Johnson in the Mixed Doubles. The results give no reason.

On Wednesday Alshon, the fifth seed in the singles, beat Aryaan Bhatia 11-7, 11-0. He and Yuta Funemizu, the third seeds in the Men's Doubles, beat He Phoenix and Francis Chi 11-8, 11-2, and he and Parris Todd, the fourth seeds in the Mixed, beat Sophia Nhi Huynh and Hien Truong 11-1, 12-10.
