National women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan-M Thinaah are hoping to add the Indonesia Open title to the Thailand Open title they won last month. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : National women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan-M Thinaah cleared their first hurdle in the Indonesia Open and moved into the last 16 after defeating Taiwanese pair Sung Shun Yun-Yu Chien Hui in Jakarta today. The world No 4 duo were made to work by the 15th ranked pair, winning 21-16, 21-17 in a match that took 41 minutes. It was the second time that they had faced each other, with Pearly-Thinaah winning on both occasions. Pearly-Thinaah, who are looking to bag their first World Tour Super 1000 series title, won the Super 500 Thailand Open last month. In the last 16 tomorrow, they will meet Indonesian pair Lanny Tria Mayasari- Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, who defeated Malaysia's Go Pei Kee-Teoh Mei Xing 19-21, 21-16, 21-19 in a match lasting 69 minutes. Surprise qualifiers for the second round were Malaysia's Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting, who defeated home pair Isyana Syahira Meida-Rinjani Kwinara Nastine 10-21, 21-14, 21-17 in a tough encounter also lasting 69 minutes. Earlier, mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai took only 31 minutes to beat Thailand's Phuwanat Horbanluekit- Fungfa Korpthammakit 21-12, 21-16 in 31 minutes to move into the second round. The world No 5 shuttlers will meet home pair Amri Syahnawi-Nita Violina Marwah, ranked No 25, for a place in the quarter-finals tomorrow. There was disappointment elsewhere when two Malaysian men's doubles pairs were eliminated in the first round. Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi fought hard but lost to world No 4 pair Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang from China 21-23, 20-22 in a match lasting 40 minutes. Choon Hon Jian-Haikal Muhammad were also shown the exit after losing to Japan's Hoki Takuro-Yugo Kobayashi 13-21, 9-21 in 29 minutes. Newly crowned Singapore Open winners Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik will play their opener against Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard later tonight.
