Bulgaria now has two medals after Stefani Stoeva won bronze in the singles. The sisters are coached by Bulgaria's most decorated female athlete, Petya Nedelcheva-Khranova. Four other Bulgarian women took part in the tournament - Kaloyana Nalbantova, Hristomira Popovska, Michaela Chepisheva and Tsvetina Popivanova, who reached the quarter-finals.
