Loh Kean Yew’s schedule and draw at 2025 World Championships
In the opening round, Loh will take on unfancied Mauritian Georges Julien Paul, ranked 234th in the world. This match will take place on either 25 or 26 August 2025.
If, as expected, Loh gets past his first-round encounter, a last-32 matchup awaits against either England’s Harry Huang or Finnish hope Kalle Koljonen. That clash will take place on either 26 or 27 August.
If Loh reaches the round of 16, the other seed in this eighth of the draw is a man who needs no introduction to Loh: Japan’s Naraoka Kodai. Loh has Naraoka’s number, having won all six of their career meetings, although they have yet to face each other this year. That match would take place on 28 August.
Quarter-finals will be played on 29 August with potential opponents including Li Shifeng, Lu Guangzu, or Lee Zii Jia. The semi-finals occur on 30 August and the final on 31 August.
