KUALA LUMPUR - The country's top women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah's impressive run at the 2023 World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark came to an end after being eliminated in the quarter-finals tonight.

They were defeated by China’s Zhang Shu Xian-Zheng Yu, who recovered from a first-set loss to win it 17-21, 21-17, 21-19 in 76 minutes at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Chinese pair will face their compatriots and first seeds Chen Qingchen-Jia Yi Fan in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, national mixed doubles duo Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei were also defeated 11-21, 11-21 in the quarter-finals by the tournament’s second seeds and the last edition’s runners-up Yuta Watanabe-Arisa Higashino of Japan.
