KUALA LUMPUR: Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah continued their pursuit of a strong finish to the season after advancing to the Denmark Open women's doubles quarter-finals in Odense on Thursday.
The world No. 5 Malaysians, seeded second, overcame Hong Kong's world No. 19 Yeung Nga Ting-Yeung Pui Lam 21-12, 21-19 in 44 minutes to reach the last eight of the Super 750 tournament for the first time since 2024.
The victory extended Pearly-Thinaah's unbeaten record against the Hong Kong pair to three matches, having also beaten them 21-11, 21-17 during the Asian Games women's team competition in Japan last month.
The Malaysians will now face India's world No. 18 Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand Pullela, who earlier produced an upset by eliminating Indonesia's fifth seeds Rachel Allessya Rose-Febi Setianingrum 21-16, 21-17.
