Pearly-Thinaah crash out of World Championships
The world No 5 women’s doubles shuttlers went down to Indonesian duo Fabriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Meilysa Trias Puspitasari in three games.
World No 5 women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan-M Thinaah were eliminated from the World Championships after a loss in the third round. The pair, who had been runners-up at last year's event, were defeated by Indonesian duo Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Meilysa Trias Puspita Sari in 74 minutes of play. Their final score was 22-20, 18-21, 12-21.
The loss is a significant setback for the nation's top women's doubles team, as they have only managed one title this year, the World Tour Super 500 Indonesia Masters in January. Prior to their defeat, Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani's men's doubles team advanced to the quarter-finals, while Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King secured additional quarter-final spots.
