National shuttler Loh Kean Yew claimed the biggest scalp of his career as he shocked Japan's world No. 1 Kento Momota 21-7, 17-21, 21-19 in 69 minutes yesterday to reach the Indonesia Open quarter-finals. The world No. 26 will face Denmark's 21st-ranked Hans-Kristian...

In the final game, the reigning world champion looked like he had the upper hand at 14-9 as his less-experienced rival made more unforced errors.

"I was lucky to win the match-point," said Loh."He started gaining in confidence from the second game and I was feeling fatigued. Since his one-month training stint with Viktor Axelsen after the Olympics, Loh has beaten a string of top players in the past month including Chinese Taipei's world No. 4 Chou Tien-chen and Malaysia's All England champion Lee Zii Jia .
