Apart from Simon racing ahead early in the 2nd game, Peter has been keeping up. Now Simon is getting visibly tired. Peter is not going for quick winners now, rather electing to keep the rallies going -- possibly a plan there.

But PG will need to up his game if he's got his mind set on any kind of medals...
 
Simon should be able to push Gade to the rubber-set. Let's see if he can take the rubber-set. He needs to improve his ranking, which is at the moment free-falling into 19th.
.
Simon is quite certain to win Game 2 now.

The question (for Game 3) is: Who is fitter, Simon or Peter?
.
 
Simon put on an ankle support, don't know why Gill is going on and on about his back :D

If Gade get's past Simon a SF spot is almost guaranteed and a medal to go with it (provided NTM beats Boonsak)
 
Are you watching the match? Who looks tired now? :)
Simon is dropping his upper body in lunges etc, sure tell-tale that he's about to hit the wall. Gade knows he lost the 2nd early on, it would be wise to drag out on it -- assuming of course he feels he has the stamina...

Time will tell! :)
 
tbh, judging from appearance he looks more fit than ever. Then again, at his age he would have to overcompensate! :)
