Pearly-Thinaah go down but not before stealing a game from China’s world champs

New target: Pearly Tan-M.Thinaah will now turn their attentions to the French Open in Paris next week.

PETALING JAYA: Women doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah can walk tall despite losing in the second round of the Denmark Open.

Pearly, who is playing in only her first tournament after recovering from a hamstring pull, hardly showed her lack of preparation when she and partner Thinaah stole one game from reigning world champions Chen Qingchen-Jia Yifan of China before losing 18-21, 22-20, 17-21 in Odense yesterday.
