Facing Korean player Yaeyeon he went 0-2 behind and 4/9 down in the third set. Facing defeat he summoned all his courage and won the next seven points to take the set 11/9. Brimming now with confidence he won the remaining two sets for a remarkable win Chinese Taipeian Yung Shen proved too strong in the final match 3-0 but Peadar advanced from second in the group to face number one seed, Ugandan in the semi final .Another cliffhanger where Peadar lost 9/11 in the fifth set, 3/11,19/17, 5/11,14/12 and 9/11.
