This was as close as it comes, but eventually David prevailed. Good scoring from both as well.

Neil’s assessment was that Li Yan played very well. To the viewer’s eye both seemed to struggle. Difficult conditions?

Hard fought and high scoring. Li Hang did very well to win the decider in one visit after “Eric” comeback. Hard work pays off.
