  "account": "National women’s doubles pairing Pearly Tan-M Thinaah exhibited resilience in the Denmark Open quarter-finals, overcoming a challenging match against India's Gayatri Gopichand and Pullela-Treesa Jolly. The Malaysian pair suffered initial setbacks, losing the first game 10-14 and trailing in the second. However, they bounced back strongly to clinch victory in a 55-minute encounter, marking their eighth win against the Indian duo in ten meetings. Their most recent showdown was a straight-games triumph in the Asian Games quarter-finals last month. Currently ranked 18th, the Indian pair will face the challenge of being up against Pearly-Thinaah's China-based counterpart, world No 30 duo Bao Li Jing-Cao and Cao Zi Han, in the upcoming semi-final. This semi-final clash will take place tomorrow. The Malaysian duo is eyeing their second title this year, following their win at the Indonesia Masters in January.",
  "summary": "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.",
