Loh Pleased With Progress
Last year this time, Loh Kean Yew was embarking on what would be his first full season of top tier events.

Not so long back, in the pre-Covid years, the Singaporean was having to try his luck at the Super 300 and Super 100 levels – indeed, at the YONEX German Open 2019, he fell in the first round of qualifying.
Now, as he prepares for the European leg of the HSBC BWF World Tour season beginning with the YONEX German Open 2023, Loh is thankful for the distance he has covered over the last couple of years.
“Before that, I didn’t even get to play Super 500 and above tournaments, and last year was technically my first year of playing the top tier events, and I made quite a lot of quarters and a few semis, and a final, so that was quite okay, considering that it was my first year with this kind of calendar and intensity,” said the affable Singaporean, who’s currently ranked No.8.
