In the first quarter final the second all Italian affair went against the form book again as Camilla Batini beat Gaia Fratini 15-11. Batini will now face the USA's Katharine Holmes who upset Toncica Tonic's day by edging a 15-13 victory over the Croatian.
An Qi Xu (CHN) had a realatively easy ride against Israel's Daria Strelnikov winning 15-8 but thanks to Dorina Budai (HUN) will not face countrywoman Yujie Sun as the latter was beaten by Budai 14-13.
