Pearly-Thinaah have some tricks up their sleeves ahead of Paris Games


Tough fight: Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah narrowly edged Taiwan’s world No. 42 Sung Shuo-yun-Yu Chien-hui 21-19, 22-20.

PETALING JAYA: It sounds tricky but doubles shuttler Pearly Tan is out to use the aces in her pack as she and her partner M. Thinaah prepare for the Paris Olympics next month.

Pearly feels that she and Thinaah have not fully utilised their advantage of executing deceptive shots in previous competitions.
