Women's foil quarter-finals

Alice Volpi (ITA) defeated cadet champion Prescod (USA) 15-10 with a fine display of control and decisiveness to set up a semi with team-mate Martina Batini who fought past Kim (KOR) by the same score.

The second semi-final will see Ekaterin Kazhikina (RUS) face Kreiss (HUN) after the Russian defeated Japan's Nishioka 15-9 while the Hungarian made her now standard slow start but took complete control to run out a winner 15-6 against Wahlgemuth (AUT).
