World title holder Enzo Lefort has not been hanging out in Milan so far. Already expeditious for his entry into the running against the Chinese Jie Xu (15-6), the Frenchman did even stronger against the Briton Marcus Mepstead, outclassed 15 touches to 3. In the round of 16, Enzo Lefort will challenge the American Miles Chamley -Watson.
Lefort will not be the only hexagonal representative at this stage of the competition since Rafael Savin will accompany him after his difficult victory over another French foil fencer, Maxime Pauty (15-14). For a place in the world big eight, Savin will have to get rid of the Englishman Kristjan Archer. Finally, the last Blue in the running, Alexandre Ediri could not do anything against the Czech Alexander Choupenich (8-15).
