The two time Olympic Champion looked in great shape and edged out Korea’s Hee Sook Jeon in the semi-finals before carrying her momentum into the showpiece match, en route to a convincing win over Inna Deriglazova.
The Russian, who claimed her first World Cup title in Hungary two years ago, got off to a strong start with 3 consecutive hits but it wasn’t to be as Di Francisca eventually found her range.
The Italian came from behind to secure an emphatic 15-5 win over her opponent, giving her a major boost ahead of the next foil event which gets underway in Shanghai on May 15.
