  "account": "Malaysian women's doubles duo Pearly Tan-M Thinaah were eliminated from the China Masters after a three-game loss to Thai siblings Benyapa and Nuntakarn Aimsaard. The world No 5 pair, who received a first-round bye, lost in 67 minutes to the world No 43 duo with the score 16-21, 21-17, 19-21. Pearly-Thinaah have been struggling to regain their form following Pearly's month-long break in June to recover from an injury. Their sole championship this year was won at the Indonesian Masters in January. A strong performance at the World Tour Super 750 event would have bolstered their preparations for the high-stakes World Tour Finals in December. Meanwhile, Malaysia's progress in women's doubles ended when Noraqilah Maisarah Ramdan-Low Zi Yu was also defeated in the second round by China's 4th-ranked Jia Yi Fan-Zhang Shu Xian 21-13, 21-16.",
