Loh Kean Yew secured his place in the last 16 at the ongoing BWF World Championships, continuing Singapore's representation in the tournament. The local shuttler's victory sets up a challenging matchup against Canada's Victor Lai, currently ranked seventh in the world.
Lai represents a stern test for Loh, having previously defeated the Singaporean in the quarter-finals of the 2025 edition of the competition. Nevertheless, Loh's progression to this stage demonstrates his competitive form at the global championships.
Meanwhile, Jason Teh was unable to extend his campaign beyond the opening stages, falling short of advancing further in the tournament. The results mark mixed fortunes for Singapore's badminton contingent at the world championships.
