Malaysia’s women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah are set for a Singapore Open quarter-final rematch against China’s Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian, who beat them in the Malaysian Masters semi-finals last week. Determined to avenge that loss, Pearly-Thinaah are eyeing a spot in the last four.
The Malaysian duo impressed in the second round, defeating Japan’s Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto 25-23, 21-18. Despite past struggles in the Singapore Open, including early exits and injury setbacks, they’re focused on staying composed and building on their recent form.
