Well worth it: Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah won RM158,500 for their victory in the Arctic Open.
PETALING JAYA: It was an early Deepavali gift for shuttler M. Thinaah as she combined superbly with Pearly Tan to capture the Arctic Open women’s doubles title in Vantaa, Finland yesterday.
Just a week before the Festival of Lights on Oct 20, Pearly-Thinaah delivered a commanding performance to beat Japan’s world No. 6 Rin Iwanaga-Kie Nakanishi 21-7, 21-9 in a one-sided final that lasted only 32 minutes.
