Pearly-Thinaah juara Terbuka Denmark, kemarau 18 tahun tamat
Pasangan nombor 5 dunia itu mengambil masa 36 minit untuk menewaskan pasangan Jepun, Hinata Suzuki-Nao Yamakita.
Malaysia's Pearly Tan-M Thinaah, alongside her partner Thinaah, clinched the title of Denmark's Open World Cup, marking the end of their 18-year drought in the women's doubles event. The 35-year-old duo secured victory in a nail-biting final against the 21st-ranked Japanese pair, Hinata Suzuki and Nao Yamakita, in just 36 minutes. They triumphed 21-18, 21-11, defeating their Japanese opponents to claim the World Journey Super 750 championship at the SJ Bank Arena in Odense.
This marks Pearly-Thinaah's second World Journey title, following their win at the Open Indonesia event in January. It's a remarkable comeback for the pair, who had to take a two-month break in June due to an injury. Their triumph has propelled them into the top eight for the final leg of the World Journey, which concludes in December.
Currently ranked sixth, they are expected to move up one or two places once the latest rankings are released on Tuesday. As champions, Pearly-Thinaah will be presented with a trophy and a cash prize of USD70,300 (RM 287,000).
