KUALA LUMPUR - It wasn't a season-opener that the country's top women's doubles pair Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah were hoping for after they suffered a surprise first-round defeat to Bulgarian sisters Gabriela Stoeva-Stefani Stoeva in front of a stunned home crowd in the Malaysia Open 2023 at the Axiata Arena today.

The world number six pair crashed out of the BWF World Tour Super 1000 tournament in straight sets 19-21,14-21 to world number 16 pair Gabriela-Stefani, in a match in which the Commonwealth Games champions never looked to be on the front foot, to the dismay of the home crowd.

"Not a good match for us, and we didn't play well at all. Of course, our opponents played very well today, they controlled the shuttle well. They really pressured us in the second set with aggressive attacks, while we didn't do our part well," said Pearly. Thinaah on the other hand wants to move forward and remained determined to come back stronger in the India Open next week. -BERNAMA
