Malaysia’s top mixed doubles pair, Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan, experienced an early exit in the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2024 at Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur.
Despite having a 2-0 advantage over the Chinese pair Liu Sheng Shu-Tan Ning in their previous meetings, Pearly Tan-Thinaah faced challenges during the match and ultimately lost 20-22, 15-21 in 58 minutes.
“Yes, it’s not the results that we wanted but we need to move on, work harder and just focus on our next tournament,” said Thinaah.
“The Chinese pair were better today…playing aggressively and constantly pressuring us with their attacking style of play. We need to move on and learn from today’s mistakes,” said Pearly.
