Malaysia’s badminton women’s doubles team Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan (World ranking: 13) solidified their place as a winning duo by moving into the quarter-finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
This comes after they defeated Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and Apriyani Rahayu from Indonesia (World ranking: 9) in straight sets 21-18 and 21-9 in Group A of the Group Play Stage at the Aréna Porte de La Chapelle.
The duo had initially lost to China’s Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan (World ranking: 1) in the first round but managed to win against Japan’s Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara (World ranking: 6) in the second round.
Pearly and Thinaah’s move to the quarter-final is also thanks to China’s women’s double duo winning against Japan’s women’s double team.
We can’t wait to see Pearly and Thinaah kick ass in the quarter-final!
