Pearly-Thinaah overcame Taiwan's Shuo-yan-Chien-hui in Indonesian Open first round
PETALING JAYA: Women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah lived up to their billing as the fourth seeds after clearing the first hurdle at the Indonesian Open with a straight-game win over Taiwan's Sung Shuo-yan-Yu Chien-hui on Wednesday (June 4).
Despite having to adjust to the new look and feel of the Istora Senayan courts, Pearly-Thinaah held their composure to claim a 21-16, 21-17 victory in 42 minutes.
They will next face home favourites Lanny Tria Mayasari-Siti Fadia Ramadhanti in the second round on Thursday (June 5).
Lanny-Siti had earlier dashed the hopes of another Malaysian pair, Teoh Mei Xing-Go Pei Kee, who fought valiantly but eventually lost 21-19, 16-21, 19-21 in front of a raucous home crowd at the iconic venue in Istora Senayan, Jakarta.
Meanwhile, the young pair Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting will face a tough test on Thursday (June 5) against Japan's sixth seeds Rin Iwanaga-Kie Nakanishi after pulling off a comeback win over Indonesia's Isyana Syahira-Rinjani Nastine 10-21, 21-14, 21-17 in the opening round.
