The 25-year-old made the Olympics last 16 and seven quarter-finals on the BWF World Tour in 2024.
SINGAPORE – Battling pain from an Achilles injury, Yeo Jia Min’s run at the US$1.15m China Masters ended with a 21-14, 21-17 loss to Thailand’s world No. 10 Supanida Katethong in the women’s singles quarter-finals on Nov 22.
Yeo also told The Straits Times: “My court coverage was affected, and whenever she increased her speed, it was hard for me to keep up. I felt pain every time I had to push off from my left foot.” The other semi-final will be contested between South Korea’s world No. 1 An Se-young and Japan’s world No. 14 Tomoka Miyazaki.
She managed to beat four top-10 players in South Korea’s An, Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi, China’s Han Yue and Indonesia’s Gregoria Tunjung. At the China Masters, she also overcame India’s 2019 world champion P. V. Sindhu for the first time.
