In what will be a remake of the final match played four years ago in Beijing, USA and Brazil will be fighting for gold this coming Saturday at Earls Court after they dominated their respective semi-finals with Korea and Japan, cruising to a couple of straight-set wins whereby they literally crashed the resistance of their Asian opponents.

While Team USA will be standing in an Olympic final for the third time in history, thereby possibly going for their first Olympic gold, Brazil will try to defend the crown they seized at the last Olympiad in China. Japan and Korea will be fighting for bronze, a result that would end a long absence from the Olympic podium; the last time Japan medalled dates back to the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles with a bronze medal while Korea’s last appearance among the top three came in 1976 with a third-place finish as well.
