Loh Kean Yew falls to Alex Lanier, misses out on Singapore Badminton Open title


SINGAPORE: The long wait for a Singaporean to win the Singapore Badminton Open men’s singles title will go on after Loh Kean Yew lost to France’s Alex Lanier in the final on Sunday (May 31).

At the Singapore Indoor Stadium, world-ranked 9 Lanier beat Loh 17-21, 21-15, 21-14. This is the 21-year-old’s third victory in four appearances against Loh, who is ranked 14th in the world.

The last Singaporean man to win the home tournament was Wee Choon Seng in 1962, while Ronald Susilo fell at the final hurdle in 2002. The women’s doubles pair of Shinta Mulia Sari and Yao Lei won the tournament in 2010.
