PETALING JAYA: The 2025 season has been a roller-coaster ride for women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah, filled with highs, lows and plenty of challenges. Despite falling short at the World Tour Finals, losing to Japan’s Yuki Fukushima-Mayu Matsumoto in the semi-finals on Saturday, national women’s doubles head coach Rosman Razak said he was pleased with their overall performance this year. Rosman highlighted that Pearly and Thinaah had a remarkable season, winning three titles at the Japan Masters, Arctic Open and Thailand Open, and finishing runners-up at the Japan Open, Indonesia Open and Indonesian Masters. They also made history as the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to reach the final of the World Championships, bringing home a silver medal. We have also learned a lot over the past two weeks, and now it’s time to focus on recovery ahead of the next season,” said Rosman.
