The Singaporean, who defeated India's world No. 14 Sameer Verma on Tuesday, trailed for much of the first game against the Frenchman.
Relying on a mix of powerful smashes and quick net-play, Loh clawed his way back into the game and managed to level at 18-18, following a 23-shot rally.The second game started off ominously for Loh, with world No. 54 Rouxel leading 7-5 after a 38-shot rally. But Loh turned on the after-burners, levelling the game at 9-9 before establishing a lead that he never relinquished as he prevailed 21-13.Chou, Loh's next opponent, was relatively untroubled as he defeated Croatia's Zvonimir Durkinjak 21-14, 21-10 yesterday.He said:"It is great to see our youngsters progressing in this World Championships.
"Kean Yew will be facing world No. 2 Chou Tien-chen, hence this win over Thomas, who had beaten him in their last meeting at the German Open earlier this year, is important."A lot of Singaporeans are rooting for Kean Yew and Jia Min. I have been receiving many encouraging messages since this morning."
