Malaysian badminton pair results 2026

Entities: Pearly Tan · Malaysia · Taiwan · Taiwan Open · Aaron Chia

Overview

In late July 2026, the Malaysian women's doubles pair of Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan were eliminated in the quarter‑finals of the China Open, losing to Japan’s fourth‑seeded duo. A week later, the same pair rebounded at the Taiwan Open, defeating the host team to reach the quarter‑finals and posting their best result since returning from a back‑injury lay‑off. The Taiwan Open performance was part of Malaysia’s broader preparation for the upcoming World Championships in India.

The snapshots also note other Malaysian entries: men’s pair Aaron Chia and Aaron Tai upset a higher‑ranked Taiwanese duo in Taiwan, while additional Malaysian players were knocked out earlier in both tournaments.
