SINGAPORE: Singapore badminton player Loh Kean Yew's stunning run at the Indonesia Open came to an end on Sunday when he was defeated by world No 2 Viktor Axelsen in the men's singles finals.

Despite the defeat, this marks a milestone for world No 26 Loh as it is the first time he has qualified for the final of a Badminton World Federation World Tour Super 1000 event. The Singaporean took a more aggressive approach to the second game and it paid off as he went into the interval 11-3 ahead, and cruised to a win to force a decider.

Loh had earlier this year taken part in a month-long training stint with Axelsen and four other players from across the globe in Dubai.
