Alex Lanier goes up against Loh Kean Yew for a spot in the semifinals

[@Thesnipercheng]

So close 🙏 LKY played so well, props to Lanier he played super well in all areas too good match 👏

[@KeithHiew]

LKY played well this tournament. Should find a way to maintain the mental state that has allowed him to regain this level after a prolonged period of insipid form.

[@revowithin]

He should change coach to change his playing style

[@gpy3001]

LKY’s biggest problem is maintaining his focus and holding his nerve. Sort that out and he’ll be a much better player

Hmmm LKY played well, but that French wonder kid proved himself to be even better. What a tight contest, which Alex eventually edged out.

As always, not only the picture quality but also the sound quality of the Denmark Open are the best, in my opinion. Anyway, this is a very entertaining match to watch!

Lanier slightly improved his footwork, you can just compare him pre-Olympic period and post-Olympic and you can see the differences The rightful French No. 1, he will be the first to break the Top 10 Men's Singles too

[@RaizuJi]

Lanier looks very dangerous, beinf able to play such performance at 19 is amazing. He could be next Europe's best after Axelsen era if he keeps improving
