Amy Wang, a renowned table tennis player, claimed her second US National Women’s Championship title with a remarkable 4-1 victory over Sally Moyland. Amy’s prowess in the sport is well-established, as she previously secured the 2021 US National Women’s Championship and the 2022 US Open Women’s Championship titles. In the latter, she triumphed against Lily Zhang, a formidable opponent with an impressive record of three Olympic appearances and six National Championship wins.
