National women’s doubles head coach Rosman Razak believes Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah have come through their most difficult phase and should now reach more semi-finals and finals and win titles. The world No. 4 pair won the Denmark Open and finished runners-up at the French Open in October, results he sees as evidence of their ability at world level.
Speaking on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, Rosman said the pair were in good condition after their injury troubles, although they were not yet fully fit. He wants them to keep reaching the latter stages of tournaments while sustaining the quality of their play.
Results show a stronger return
Pearly-Thinaah have reached at least the semi-finals in 12 tournaments this year and won three titles. Last year, they recorded seven top-four finishes and two titles, making this year’s record a clear improvement in both measures.
Rosman welcomed their return after the injuries that had affected them earlier. “Although they are not 100 per cent fit, I think they have worked very hard to overcome that difficult phase,” he said.
He added that their recent performances showed what they could achieve at world level.
Consistency goes beyond results
Rosman said reaching semi-finals and finals regularly should be the pair’s target from here. “I hope they maintain this level, consistently reaching the semi-finals and finals. That is where their standard is at the moment,” he said.
He stressed that consistency was not limited to how far they progressed in each event. Their gameplay and individual performances mattered too, particularly as they sought to maintain the level shown during their recent run.
Rosman acknowledged that Pearly-Thinaah had experienced ups and downs. While he estimated they had reached four finals this year, roughly matching last year’s tally, he felt their dips in form had been less noticeable this time.
Three tournaments ahead
Pearly-Thinaah’s next scheduled event is the Kumamoto Masters from Nov 10-15. They are then due to compete at the Hong Kong Open from Nov 17-22 before the season-ending World Tour Finals in Hangzhou, China, from Dec 9-13.
His emphasis remains on maintaining their recent level across both results and performances as they complete the year’s schedule.
