Yeo Jia Min and Loh Kean Yew made it a memorable semifinals day for Singapore as they entered the singles finals of the HYLO Open 2021.

Loh and Yeo are a win away from their career’s biggest title; if both win on Sunday, it will be Singapore's biggest day at a World Tour or Superseries event. The HYLO Open 2021 is an HSBC BWF World Tour Super 500 event.
While Yeo overcame resistance from third seed Michelle Li, Loh was mostly in control against Lakshya Sen, winning his ticket to the final in straight games.
Yeo led Li by a game and 15-11 but the Canadian kept up her chase into an exciting end game, saving two match points to force a decider. However, the effort proved too much for her and she faded out early, with the Singaporean winning 21-12 23-25 21-12.
