“I am happy that I played a good game, but in the first set I lost. I can just look forward and keep fighting and keep trying,” Loh shared in a post-match interview after the match
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s top shuttler, Loh Kean Yew, was eliminated in the Round of 16 at the 2023 BWF World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, by India’s HS Prannoy. Loh displayed great resilience and triumphed in the second set by 21-15 after narrowly losing the first set by 18-21. However, he couldn’t sustain his performance until the end and ultimately succumbed in the crucial third set by 19-21.
Loh had a strong start to the 2023 BWF World Championships, defeating Pablo Abian of Spain 21-12, 21-9 in just 28 minutes. In Round 32, Loh faced Ade Resky Dwicahyo, an Indonesian-born citizen of Azerbaijan. The match lasted approximately 24 minutes, and Loh emerged victorious with a score of 21-4, 21-11.
“I am happy that I played a good game, but in the first set I lost. I can just look forward and keep fighting and keep trying. At the end I was a little bit more rushed and he took the risk and got the rewards. It was a very big move from him and of course with my judgement it was sad that it turned out this way. I know that Prannoy is very strong and a good player, so I prepared for the toughest match that I can play,” shared Loh in a post-match interview after the match.
“It is a privilege to keep on playing and participate in elite and world class tournaments, but of course realistically speaking, we also need some break. For us, we are also human, but it is not easy to do that because if you play more does not mean you always win, and if you lose you will still keep playing,” added Loh.
