Fancied Pearly and Thinaah lose opener at World Tour Finals

PETALING JAYA: French Open champions Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah’s hopes of flourishing in the season finale did not get off to a brilliant start as they were outplayed by Indonesia’s world No. 14 Apriyani Rahayu-Siti Fadia Ramadhanti at the World Tour Finals in Bangkok yesterday.

Pearly-Thinaah, the world No. 8, were unable to produce their best as Apriyani-Fadia carved out a 21-23, 19-21 in Group B.
