Pearly-Thinaah survive scare before entering semis at Denmark Open
The world No 5 Malaysian pair lost the first game tamely before finding their rhythm to defeat India’s 18th ranked Gayatri Gopichand Pullela-Treesa Jolly in three games.
National women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-M Thinaah endured a challenging quarter-final match at the Denmark Open before advancing to the semi-finals of the World Tour Super 750 championships. The Malaysian duo lost the opening game to Indian pair Gayatri Gopichand and Pullela-Treesa Jolly, trailing 10-14 in the second game. However, they fought back to defeat the ranked 18th pair 14-21, 21-17, 21-11 in a 55-minute contest.
Pearly-Thinaah have now triumphed over the Indian pair eight times in their last ten meetings, with their most recent victory being a straight-games win in the Asian Games quarter-finals last month. As Asian Games bronze medalists, the Malaysian pair will face China's world No 30 pair Bao Li Jing-Cao Zi Han in the semi-final match scheduled for tomorrow. Pearly-Thinaah are looking to add another title to their list this year, having secured the Indonesia Masters victory in January.
