NATIONAL women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah missed out on a spot in the 2025 China Open Badminton Championship final after a straight-game defeat to China's Jia Yi Fan-Zhang Shu Xian in the semi-finals. The Malaysian duo, ranked third in the world, lost 14-21, 17-21 in 38 minutes at the Changzhou Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium. This marks their fourth loss in five meetings against the Chinese pair.

Thailand-Cambodia Conflict: SEA Games Preparations Remain On Track
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) — Malaysia will continue to monitor the developments of the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia ahead of the SEA Games scheduled to be held this December, said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh. She said the government, through the Foreign Ministry, is closely monitoring the situation but so far, there has been no change in the country's sports contingent planning. 'We are, of course, worried about the trend but we know Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is doing his best to talk to both countries for a ceasefire. Of course, we definitely want peace in this arena. bootstrap slideshow 'And we know the SEA Games (to be hosted by Thailand) is coming up in December. We do hope that this matter can be resolved amicably and also speedily. 'For the National Sports Council (NSC), we are always following not just the news coming in, but we also have to listen to the Foreign Ministry for guidance and nothing has changed (for Malaysia),' she said after opening the 2025 National Combat Sports Championships held at Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil. The Combat Sports Championships meet brings together 2,000 athletes from all over the country who compete in the five main disciplines of combat sports, namely silat, wushu, karate-do, muay thai and wrestling. Hannah stressed that combat sports need to be given support equivalent to Olympic-status sports and the ministry is committed to helping in the development of the discipline. In another development, she said the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) views the proposal by the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) to establish a National Sports Trust Fund to reduce dependence on government funds as a positive step. 'As I stated, sports associations need to have their own initiative to find funds. They can't depend on the government.

Can Pearly-Thinaah smash a hole in the Great Wall in Paris?
KUALA LUMPUR: Women's pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah were served another grim reminder today — the Chinese Great Wall stands on their path to success. The world No. 3 Malaysians now have to reckon with not one but two super Chinese pairs on the World Tour. It's not only world No. 1 Liu Sheng Shu-Tan Ning, but also their teammates world No. 7 Jia Yi Fan-Zhang Shu Xian who are a thorn in the Malaysians' side. While Sheng Shu-Tan Ning hold a 9-3 head-to-head record against Pearly-Thinaah after defeating them in the finals of the recent Indonesia and Japan Opens, Yi Fan-Shu Xian subdued the Malaysian duo 21-14, 21-17 in the China Open semi-final in Changzhou today, and extending their head-to-head record to 4-1. This has raised concerns among Malaysian fans that Sheng Shu-Tan Ning and Yi Fan-Shu Xian will be stumbling blocks to Pearly-Thinaah in the Paris World Championships from August 25–31. However, national women's doubles head coach Rosman Razak is not overly worried about the Chinese Great Wall. He felt that Pearly-Thinaah's loss was more about Yi Fan-Shu Xian's superior decision-making and quality at the net. "Today, we lost mainly in the front court area. Our opponents made better decisions and their quality at the net was superior. "Physically, we are getting stronger, and the most important thing is that we came through these two weeks of tournaments injury-free. "Overall, our performance over the past two weeks has been good, except for the two matches we lost (to Chinese pairs). There's still a lot to take away. "We now have a three-week break before the World Championships. We'll use this time to work on our mistakes here." Pearly-Thinaah felt that Yi Fan-Shu Xian capitalised on home-ground advantage and dealt with the draught at the Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium better than them. Yi Fan-Shu Xian stuck to a sound game plan and maintained their aggression throughout, and also doused a late fightback by Pearly-Thinaah to win in just 38 minutes. Pearly-Thinaah pocketed US$28,000 (RM118,286) as the China Open losing semi-finalists. The Malaysians found themselves trailing 12-5 in the second game, but managed to close the gap to 19-17. However, Pearly admitted their rally came a little too late. "Yi Fan-Shu Xian adapted to the court conditions very well and had the right strategy to handle the draught in the first game — they played with the draught. We need to adjust our strategy more quickly. "Win or lose, it's a valuable experience. We'll go back and analyse our performance." The defeat ended Pearly-Thinaah's hopes of reaching a third consecutive World Tour final, following their strong showings at the Indonesia and Japan Opens. However, Thinaah felt that they managed to carry their momentum from Japan into the Super 1000 event in China this week, and that has motivated them ahead of the World Championships. "Our momentum has been good, and we're happy with that, but there's still room for improvement," said Thinaah. "The World Championships are coming up, and we want to prepare thoroughly." Despite falling short, Pearly-Thinaah will achieve a career-high world No. 2 ranking on Tuesday. But the question is can Pearly-Thinaah smash a hole in the Great Wall at the World Championships? They need to find a solution to counter both Sheng Shu-Tan Ning and Yi Fan-Shu Xian.
