Pearly Tan

Just two months ago, national women's doubles shuttler Pearly Tan was left crying for many nights as she feared that she had suffered a long-term injury.

And the Malaysian world No. But yesterday, the 22-year-old completed a remarkable turnaround from a torn hamstring when she and her partner M. 3 Chiharu Shida-Nami Matsuyama (quarter-finals).

KUALA LUMPUR: National No.1 women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah created history by winning the French Open at the Stade Pierre de Coubertine in...

In the first set, Pearly-Thinaah started slowly but soon got on their way to hold a 18-10 lead. The Malaysian pair once again got off to a slow start in the rubber tie after trailing 2-6, but then found their rhythm and competitive spirit to take a 8-7 lead before going on to clinch the title with a 21-15 win. Pearly-Thinaah, however, failed to capitalise on the first set win, and despite their best to keep pace, failed to check a resurgent Matsumoto-Nagahara who took the second set 21-18 in 20 minutes.

The world number 11 pair defeated Japan's two-time world champions, Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara.

Hopefully, they can get even better in tournaments after this," he said. "It was Pearly-Thinaah's first World Tour final of the year but mentally they were very strong. "No words can describe how we feel and how much this really meant to us, especially after what my partner went through last month.
