KUALA LUMPUR: Pearly Tan braved through pain to help secure a spot in the All-England women’s doubles quarter-finals with partner M. Thinaah on Thursday (March 13).
The Malaysian pair looked to be in control against Indonesia’s Apriyani Rahayu-Siti Fadia Ramadhanti, but a moment of concern arose when Pearly twisted her left ankle while landing awkwardly on a shot. The injury came as the fifth seeds were leading 14-7 in the second game, briefly sending a scare through the Malaysian camp.
