National women’s doubles stars and world number two Pearly Tan-M Thinaah, fresh from their third World Tour title triumph of the season in the Japan Masters 2025 in Kumamoto yesterday, insist they are far from done.

Thinaah, reflecting on their 22-20, 21-19 victory over Japan’s Rin Iwanaga-Kie Nakanishi in the Super 500 tournament final at the Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium, said they will enjoy the moment, but won't get carried away.

“We’re really happy with the win, but there are still many things we need to learn and improve on.

“For now, we’ll celebrate this moment, stay grounded, and stay focused on the next one,” she said in a brief statement shared by the Badminton Association of Malaysia today.

The 2025 World Championships runners-up, who had also bagged the Thailand and Arctic Open titles this year, now lead Iwanaga-Nakanishi 7-2 in head-to-head meetings.

Their latest triumph in Japan also saw them pocket US$37,525 (about RM155,190).
