PETALING JAYA: Pearly Tan-M Thinaah captured the Denmark Open title, ending Malaysia's 18-year drought in the women’s doubles and becoming only the second pair to win the crown in the tournament’s 90-year history.
The world No 5 pair, who now have two World Tour titles this year, took 36 minutes to beat Japan’s 21st-ranked duo Hinata Suzuki-Nao Yamakita 21-18, 21-11 in the World Tour Super 750 final at the SJ Bank Arena in Odense.
Malaysia last won the women’s doubles title through Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui in 2008.
