Kim and Hasselborg Maintain Perfect Records

In an exciting showdown in Guelph, Ontario, Team Eun-jung Kim maintained their perfect record by defeating Team Silvana Tirinzoni 7-4, bringing their standings to an impressive 4-0 as they head into the playoffs of the WFG Masters. This victory is particularly noteworthy as the South Korean squad is competing without their third player, Kyeong-ae Kim, who is currently participating in a mixed doubles event.

Joining Kim atop the leaderboard is Sweden’s Team Anna Hasselborg, also boasting an undefeated 4-0 record after clinching an 8-3 win over South Korea’s Team Eun-ji Gim, who unfortunately finished the round-robin play with a disappointing 0-4 record.

Upcoming Draft and Quarterfinals

Both Kim and Hasselborg will have a significant choice to make during the evening's draft, where they, along with Ottawa's Team Rachel Homan (3-1), will select their quarterfinal opponents. The options include:

- Team Silvana Tirinzoni (2-2) - Team Kerri Einarson (2-2) - Tiebreaker: Team Danielle Inglis (2-2) vs. Team Momoha Tabata (2-2) - Tiebreaker: Team Kaitlyn Lawes (2-2) vs. Team Satsuki Fujisawa (2-2)
