PETALING JAYA: Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah appear to be unstoppable at the Malaysian Masters after staging an amazing fightback against South Korea’s world No. 5 Jeong Na-eun-Kim Hye-jeong to reach the final yesterday.
Trailing 2-11 in the second game of the semi-final, the national women’s doubles pair seemed to be running out of steam.
Roared on by the passionate home fans, the world No. 11 pair simply refused to give in and hit the Koreans for a six in a match lasting 92 minutes. It was another classic fighting performance from Pearly-Thinaah who had fought their hearts out to overcome Japan’s Rena Miyaura-Ayako Sakuramoto 21-17, 18-21, 21-19 in 89 minutes and their teammates Yuki Fukushima-Sayaka Hirota 13-21, 21-19, 21-16 in 111 minutes in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively.“The past few matches were really tiring but all the fans gave us the motivation and extra energy to go through all this.
Pearly-Thinaah now have the opportunity to become the first homesters to capture the Malaysian Masters title since mixed doubles pair Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing’s triumph in 2017.
