PETALING JAYA: World No. 2 women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah are expected to make up for last year’s early exit at the Asian Championships, but their real test will begin if they reach the quarter-finals.

Women’s doubles head coach Rosman Razak believes Pearly-Thinaah should not face problems getting past Hong Kong pair Fan Ka Yan-Yau Mau Ying in the first round.
