In November, at the Hylo Open, Yeo advanced past the first round after defeating Chinese Tapei's Pai Yu-po in three sets.[54] She, however, could not overcome Spain's Carolina Marín in her next matchup, losing in straight sets, 14–21, 17–21.[55] Yeo concluded her 2022 season with yet another first round defeat at the Australia Open, her seventh of the year on tour, after losing to Pai Yu Po.[56]

2023: SEA Games Team bronze and Polish Open title

Yeo started her new season with first round defeat to Pornpawee Chochuwong at the Malaysia and India Open respectively in straight games.[citation needed] At the Indonesia Masters, she faced another first round defeat, losing a closely contested rubber game against Line Christophersen of Denmark.[57] In February, Yeo played only one match during the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships, where Singapore did not make it to the knockout stage. She competed in the opening round and suffered a defeat to Kim Ga-eun from South Korea.[58] In March, Yeo made it to the main draw of the All England Open after the withdrawal of Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal.[59] She however, lost to China's Han Yue in the first round.[60] The following week, she claimed her first title since 2019 by winning the Polish Open.

At the Badminton Asia Championships, she faced early elimination in the initial rounds.[64] In May, at the SEA Games, Yeo took part in only the team event and won all her matches to help Singapore to clinch a joint-bronze medal with the Philippines.[65] However, her participation in the Sudirman Cup yielded mixed results, with Yeo losing two out of three matches, contributing to Singapore's inability to progress to the knockout stage.[66] In the latter part of 2023, her performance appeared inconsistent, marked by sporadic success on the badminton circuit with quarter-finals appearances at the Thailand, Australia, and Kumamoto Masters.[67][68]
