KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — Malaysia’s women’s doubles stars Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah fought bravely at the BWF World Championships 2025 final in Paris today but narrowly fell 21-14, 20-22, 21-17 to top-seeded China’s Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning.
Despite the heartache, the silver medal marks the second seeds’ best-ever result in four World Championships appearances, surpassing their previous quarter-final finish in 2023.
They also made history as the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to reach a World Championships final.
