    Perhaps Sony has peaked too early.

    The Japanese pair are like samurai warriors - ferociously aggressive but dignified.

    Not enough energy - very mild compared to Istora or Malawati Stadium last week.

    Looks like Son Wan Hi have no chance to peak at all. He js just going to Olympics 2016 for fun. He won't stand a chance to win a medal there. Too bad.

    This match is fast and furious. And the 2 sets of fans are challenging each other.

    I am very honest with you. Son Wan Ho is extremely lucky to reach the finals. See even versus an injured player Sony he couldn't win today and applied all the wrong strategies. That is why I said slim chance for Son Wan Ho.

    Zhang Nan's net play and defense are now too predictable to the Japanese..

    He's not going to the Rio Olympics 2016 anyway. And yes, I do feel that Sony has peaked too early in his career, winning an Olympics bronze medal in 2004 when he's only 20 years old! Way way too early for him.

    You will need to consult the `Peaking theory` specialist to know that.
    Imho he has as good a chance to get medals as anyone.
