After beating the USA in the re-run of the 2018 final, the Swedes have also defeated Italy. After three points in the eighth end for the Scandinavians, the Italians conceded the game at 9:3. That leaves Sweden the only undefeated team in the men’s tournament, along with Canada, who will play their third game late in the session.
In the prestige duel between Great Britain and the USA, the Olympic champions from South Korea retained the upper hand. The American team led by Skip John Shuster won 9:7 against the motherland of curling.
