Drugog dana polufinalnog meča Carlsen je opet lako savladao Svidlera, 2,5:0,5 i plasirao se u finale.
Nepomniachtchi je imao težak zadatak protiv Girija. Iako je Nepomniachtchi prvi postigao pobjedu, Giri je izjednačio i meč od 4 partije je završen nerješeno. Igralo se doigravanje u kojem je pobjedio Giri. Tako će se sutra igrati treći meč Nepominachtchija i Girija za plasman u finale. Finalni meč se igra od 3 do 5 avgusta.
