Extra motivation for Pearly-Thinaah to go further as they smash into last eight


PETALING JAYA: The hunger after missing three European tournaments showed as doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah marched confidently into the quarter-finals of the Japan Masters.

The duo, who had to skip the tournaments in Denmark, France and Finland due to Pearly’s back injury, defeated Rui Hirokami-Yuna Kato of Japan 21-17, 21-16 at the Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium yesterday to set up a meeting with another Japanese pair Rena Miyaura-Ayako Sakuramoto next.
