Explanation

This visual map of the competition helps to understand:

How difficult or easy everyone's pool and the direct elimination path was
How well each fencer performed according to expectations relative to their strength level

Ignoring differences in styles, you should be winning your bouts against easier opponents and shouldn't be upset if you lose against stronger opponents.
