SINGAPORE – Loh Kean Yew ultimately ran out of comebacks as his run at the Badminton World Federation World Championships came to an end in the round of 16, after he lost 21-18, 15-21, 21-19 to India’s H.S. Prannoy in a dramatic 69-minute clash in Denmark on Thursday.
In Friday’s quarter-finals, the Indian world No. 9 will go on to face either home favourite and defending champion Viktor Axelsen or Chinese Taipei’s 10th-ranked Chou Tien-chen. Their match was ongoing at press time. The second game followed a similar vein as world No. 7 Loh had the same advantage at the interval, but he was more patient in his search for opportunities to kill off points as he took the match to a third game following a successful challenge.
But following the change of ends, Loh won 12 out of the next 15 points to lead 16-14, as both players began celebrating each point won emphatically.But two deceptive clears helped the 31-year-old Indian claim a memorable victory, as his opponent turns his focus to the Sept 5-10 China Open and Sept 12-17 Hong Kong Open before heading for the Sept 23-Oct 8 Asian Games in Hangzhou.
