JAKARTA - The Malaysian women's doubles, Pearly Tan/Thinaah Muralitharan, managed to secure the 2026 Indonesia Masters title without having to compete.
Initially, the 2026 Indonesian Masters women's doubles final was scheduled to take place at Istora Senayan, Jakarta on Sunday, January 25 afternoon. At that time, the Malaysian representative will face the Japanese pair, Arisa Igarashi/Miyu.
However, the final match was not held because the Japanese pair withdrew. Igarashi/Takahashi withdrew ahead of the match due to less than optimal conditions, more precisely because Takahashi had a fever after the semifinal match.
Even though they didn't compete, this title was a sweet redemption for Pearly/Thinaah who finished as runners-up at the 2025 Indonesia Masters after being defeated by the South Korean representative. In that way, this BWF second-ranked women's doubles won their fifth BWF Super 500 title.
Previously, Pearly/Thinaan won the Hong Kong Open 2024, Thailand Open 2025, Arctic Open 2025, and Kumamoto Masters 2025. They also won the French Open 2022 (Super 750).
With this first title in 2026, Pearly/Thinaah are aiming for a bigger championship. One of their two ambitions in 2026 is to become the world's number one pair.
Meanwhile, China's women's singles, Chen Yufei, won the title after defeating Thailand's women's singles, Pitchamon Opatniputh. Chen Yufei won two straight games, 23-21, 21-13.
