I like Pearly Tan and Thinaah, bless them. But there is still a big gap between them and the top WD pairs. I am afraid they may not be able to overcome this.
They're ranked in the top and peaked top 6, I don't think the gap is really all that big. When it comes to the upper echelons of playing strong it mostly comes down to consistency.

Matsuyama is so good playing at the net and Tan is so creatively playing at the back. They should make a very good team
Very well played. Congratulations to Shida and Matsuyama.
Matsuyama is so calm and collected with her net game💛

Shida cute 😆
The coach of the Malaysian air should find a way to prevent the first three shots from falling into a disadvantage
Crowd is chanting SHIDA.
Well, historically, these matches go so well without commentators…
Pearly needs a better partner 😢
