from Bar None · host BFM Media
National women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan celebrated Malaysia Day as they made history with their win at last weekend's Hong Kong Open as the first Malaysian women's pair to win the Super 500 tournament in its 42-year history. Their 37-minute defeat of world No. 3 pair Liu Sheng Shu-Tan Ning ended their two-year title drought and four-match losing streak to the Chinese opponents, and secured the duo their first title since the 2022 French Open - the third World Tour title under their belt since pairing up in 2021. Journalist Fabian Mark Peter breaks down their spectacular performance, examines their careers so far and post-Olympics, and what we can expect from the pair at this week's China Open and on their road to the finals.
