Loh Kean Yew never expected his victory over Lin Dan in the final of the Princess Sirivannavari Thailand Masters on Sunday to attract such attention. With an unanticipated deluge of media requests though, the Penang-born Singaporean is trying to stay grounded.
“I’m very surprised,” he laughs. “I didn’t expect it to be such a big thing. But I have to keep in mind that the tournament was only a (HSBC BWF) World Tour Super 300 – there are still the Super 500, 750 and 1000. So far so good.”
Sunday’s victory was the biggest moment of his career, for his best performances previously consisted of a quarterfinal at the Commonwealth Games, bronze medals at the SEA Games, and victories at International Series in Mongolia, Singapore and Malaysia.
