PETALING JAYA: National women’s doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan-M Thinaah showed devastating form to power their way into the semi-finals of the Thailand Open with an easy win over their Chinese opponents in Bangkok today.
The top seeds, who are ranked No 5 in world standing, beat scratch pair Chen Qing Chen-Wang Ting Ge 21-14, 21-11 in a match that lasted just 33 minutes.
