  "account": "Pearly Tan-M Thinaah, the world No 5 women's doubles shuttler, has been eliminated from the World Championships after a loss in the third round. The team, which also won the World Tour Super 500 Indonesia Masters in January, suffered a setback as they lost to an Indonesian pair in the third round at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi, India. The loss marks a major disappointment for the nation's top women's doubles pair, as they had previously been runners-up at last year's World Championships. The shuttlers fought a grueling 74-minute match before succumbing to a lower-ranked Indonesian team, 22-20, 18-21, 12-21. Despite this setback, there is still a chance for another quarter-final slot in the men's doubles, as another top-ranked pair is set to compete later tonight.",
  "summary": "The world No 5 women’s doubles shuttlers went down to Indonesian duo Fabriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Meilysa Trias Puspitasari in three games.",
