The Singaporean will face India's Lakshya Sen aiming to improve on a 3-5 head-to-head record.
Singapore's Loh Kean Yew had lost to Indonesia's Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in six straight matches, but finally turned the tables with a win on March 7.
Loh told The Straits Times: “I’m definitely happy to beat an opponent I had lost to six times in a row. But now that it’s over, I’m just focusing on the next match because the job is not done yet.” This was the first time he had even won a game against Ginting in seven matches, and he carried over the momentum to the second game. But from 2-5 down, the world No. 5 upped the tempo – while Loh made unforced errors at crucial junctures – to take the match to a decider.
