Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan emerged the surprise package of the YONEX Swiss Open 2021, becoming the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair in over two years to win an HSBC BWF World Tour title.
The young Malaysians, who had shown evidence of their potential during the Asian Leg in January, stunned third seeds Stefani Stoeva/Gabriela Stoeva 21-19 21-12 in 42 minutes in their first final of this level.
Tan and Muralitharan trailed all through the opening game, but once they took the opening game with four straight points from 17-19, the match quickly swung their way.
