KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23\u00a0\u2014 Top national women\u2019s doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah and two men\u2019s doubles pairs secured their berths in the quarter-finals of the French Open after clearing their round-of-16 hurdles early this morning.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s doubles, Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun produced a stellar display to stun Japan\u2019s eighth seeds Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi in straight games, 25-23, 21-14.<\/p>\n
The win not only levelled their head-to-head record against the 2021 world champions at 2-2 but also set up an all-Malaysian quarter-final clash against top national pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik.<\/p>\n
Also advancing to the last eight were professional duo Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani, who were pushed to the limit before edging Denmark\u2019s Daniel Lundgaard-Mads Vestergaard 21-6, 14-21, 21-18 after bouncing back in the decider.<\/p>\n
A formidable challenge awaits Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin in the quarter-finals, where they will take on South Korea\u2019s world number one pair Kim Won-ho-Seo Seung-jae, to whom they have lost four of their six previous meetings.<\/p>\n
The South Koreans had earlier ended the campaign of young Malaysian pair Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King with a 21-14, 21-16 victory.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s doubles, Pearly-Thinaah were forced to fend off a spirited challenge from younger compatriots Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting before prevailing 21-14, 22-20.<\/p>\n
Pearly-Thinaah will next meet Bulgaria\u2019s Gabriela Stoeva- Stefani Stoeva for a place in the semi-finals. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n
