Another victory at the Adidas Arena in Paris would secure at least a bronze medal for either player.Returning from a bacterial infection that left him bedridden for weeks and kept him out of international competition in July, world No. 9 Loh had to suffer before he survived.He told The Straits Times: «It was a tough match and a lot went on on the court. (Naraoka) played very well in the first game and I couldn't follow the pace.»I picked up the pace a little in the second game and I'm glad it worked. It was very intense and crucial in the third game and it could have been anyone's game at the end and I'm happy and relieved to come away with the win."
