BUKIT JALIL: National women’s doubles shuttler Pearly Tan revealed she had been unwell a week before the Malaysian Open after uploading a photo of herself receiving treatment in hospital on her Instagram story on Friday (Jan 9).

Pearly had been down with fever but was eventually cleared to compete alongside M. Thinaah in the ongoing home tournament. However, the effects were still evident as the pair went down to Indonesian duo Febriana Kusuma–Meilysa Puspitasari in the second round of the Malaysian Open on Thursday (Jan 8).
