Men' epee poules


It's all going according to plan for Luca Ferraris as the top seed wins all of his poule fights. 2nd seed Garozzo drops one but things are not so good for third Prokhorov as he won just two fights from 6, the opposite of fourth seed Rosello who dropped two fights.

Top seed after the poules though is Julian Seidl (CZE). Bulgaria's Kristian Boyadzhiev is second with Denys Boryeko (UKR) third and Mark Hanzwikkel (HUN) fourth.

Jon May leads the way for the Brits with a fantastic 5 victories from 6 fights, May just dropping his first fight. He is now 15th seed and has a bye through the round of 128. Ben White was three victories from 5 and James Harris 2 from 5. Ben is 55th and has Edvinas Nefas (LTU) in the 128 and James is 83rd Seed and faces Vadim Anokhin (RUS).
