  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian women's doubles pair Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah expressed their ambition to advance to the final at the Denmark Open after securing their first semi-final appearance. The pair overcame India's Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand 14-21, 21-17, 21-11 in the quarter-finals at the SJF Bank Arena. This victory ended a 18-year wait for Malaysia in women's doubles semi-finals at the event, following Wong Pei Tty-Chin and Chin Eei Hui's title-winning campaign in 2008. Pearly remarked on their success and desire to continue improving, stating, \"We are really happy with today's win and to create this history. We don't want to stop here. We still want to keep moving forward.\" They acknowledged that playing too defensively had led to errors earlier in the match, but attributed their turn-around to improved communication on court. The pair will now face China's Bao Lijing and Cao Zihan, who defeated Bulgaria's Gabriela Stoeva and Stefani Stoeva 21-12, 26-24.",
