WS Poules


Well, the poule results are now in and it's a mixed bag for the Brits. Rebecca Hopkins was three from six but Anna Miles Matli was just one from six and Laura Hunter-Thomas was unfortunately none from six, despite a very spirited display to take 4th seed Caterina Navarria (ITA) to four hits, the Italian only dropping one fight in the poule. Anna finishes 41st and Laura H-T 44th. Rebecca Hopkins gets straight through the incomplete 64 and faces sixth seed Yana Egorian (RUS) in the last 32.


A mixed bag also for the top three seeds. Kata Varhelyi looked very impressive but was only three victories from six. And Ukranian pair Chudikova and Komishuk dropped one and two fights respectively.


Coming out on top was Italy's Marta Ciaraglia who won all her fights for the loss of seven hits, impressive stuff. Second seed is Germany's Anja Musch with the third Ukranian Olena Kravatska third and Greece's Christina Aggelakopoulou fourth.

Here's a photo of Anna in action against the Magyar (HUN).
