Thinaah clinched the women's doubles title at the Denmark Open, ending an 18-year drought for Malaysia at the event by defeating Japan's Hinata Suzuki and Nao Yamakita in straight games.

The World No. 5 pair triumphed 21-18, 21-11 in the final, marking their second title of the year after previously winning the Indonesia Masters.

Their victory in Odense follows previous champions Wong Pei Tty and Chin Eei Hui's success in 2008, highlighting a significant return to form for the Malaysian duo.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 — Malaysia’s Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah ended an 18-year wait for a women’s doubles title at the Denmark Open today after sweeping aside Japan’s Hinata Suzuki and Nao Yamakita in straight games.

The world No. 5 pair produced a commanding performance to defeat their 21st-ranked opponents 21-18, 21-11 in the final at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense, securing their second title of the season.

The victory made Tan-Thinaah the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to lift the Denmark Open crown since Wong Pei Tty and Chin Eei Hui achieved the feat in 2008.

It also marked a welcome return to the top of the podium for the Malaysian stars, who had not won a title since January.

Tan-Thinaah were made to work in the opening game against the Japanese pair but held their nerve to take it 21-18.

They then stepped up a gear in the second, dominating their opponents to seal a convincing 21-11 win and complete their historic triumph.

The result was particularly satisfying after their previous title at the Indonesia Masters in Jakarta came without a final being played.

On that occasion, Tan-Thinaah were awarded the championship following the withdrawal of Japan’s Arisa Igarashi and Miyu Takahashi, who handed the Malaysians a walkover.

This time, however, the Malaysian duo claimed the title on court, capping an impressive campaign at the prestigious Super 750 tournament.

Their road to the final included a hard-fought comeback victory over India’s Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand in the quarter-finals, before they dispatched China’s Bao Li Jing and Cao Zi Han 21-16, 21-14 in Saturday’s semi-final.

The triumph also saw Tan-Thinaah follow in the footsteps of Wong and Chin, who defeated Indonesia’s Rani Mundiasti and Jo Novita 23-21, 21-12 to win the women’s doubles title in 2008.

Eighteen years later, the Denmark Open women’s doubles crown is finally back in Malaysian hands.
