Rexy Wants Pearly-Thinaah to Rise at Indonesia Open

National Doubles Coaching Director Rexy Mainaky has called for an immediate resurgence from Malaysia's top women's doubles pair, Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah, following their lackluster performance at the Singapore Open. The world No. 2 pair faced a significant setback, crashing out in the second round after a straight-sets defeat to Thailand's world No. 105 duo, Benyapa Aimsaard and Nuntakarn Aimsaard. This early exit was considered one of the most disappointing results for Tan and Thinaah this season, especially as they were among the favorites for the Super 750 tournament.

Rexy Mainaky, who received a daily report from the national women's doubles head coach Rosman Razak, acknowledged that the Malaysian pair failed to display their true potential and committed numerous unforced errors. "According to Rosman, Pearly-Thinaah played below their actual ability and made too many unforced errors," Mainaky stated. "We hope they can bounce back and perform much better at next week's Indonesia Open."

Tan had previously missed nearly two months of competitive action due to a recurring back injury, which led to the pair withdrawing from the Malaysia Masters. However, their path at the Indonesia Open appears somewhat favorable. They are scheduled to open their campaign against Canada's Jackie Dent and Crystal Lai. A potential quarter-final clash could see them face Bulgaria's Gabriela Stoeva and Stefani Stoeva, or Japan's Rui Hirokami and Sayaka Hobara.
