2008 Beijing Olympic Games - Yang Zi through to Round of 16!
In the men's singles second round action on Wednesday, Yang Zi overcame Portugal's Marcos Freitas 4-2.

Yang Zi opened the score by taking the first game 11-4. But he dropped the next two 6-11, 2-11. Yang quickly bounced back, sealing the remaining games 11-3, 11-9, 11-6.

Yang said: "I was nervous...It's my first Olympics. My opponent's skill is also better than mine. I lost many points, especially in the middle of the match. Hopefully, I'll do better in the next match."

However, Gao Ning crashed out, losing to Croatia's Tan Rui Wu without any guidance from the coach.
