Pearly-Thinaah stay grounded despite world No. 2 ranking


Hoping to do better: Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah reached the quarter-finals of the World Championships in Denmark in 2023.

PETALING JAYA: A world No. 2 ranking may look good on paper, but shuttlers Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah are not buying into the hype just yet.

Instead, the women’s doubles pair Pearly-Thinaah are keeping their feet on the ground, insisting that being ranked No. 2 in the world offers no real advantage heading into the World Cham­pionships in Paris from Aug 25-31.
