The two have faced each other five times in their careers, with Jonatan holding a 4-1 advantage.
In this Asian Championships, the two also passed five levels and six generals, defeating masters from all walks of life to reach the finals. Among them, Li Shifeng defeated Wang Ziwei, Ginting, Naraoka Kodai and other famous players in a row to reach the finals, while Jonatan also defeated Li Zhuoyao, Zhou Tiancheng, Shi Yuqi, and successfully advanced to the finals.
