Thinaah prioritises consistency over world ranking in badminton
NATIONAL women's doubles shuttler M. Thinaah emphasised that consistency matters more than rankings, even as she and partner Pearly Tan reached a career-high world number two spot. The 27-year-old said their primary goal is to maintain strong performances rather than chasing rankings. 'For me, being world number two is just a number. The main thing is to keep performing consistently and supporting each other on court,' Thinaah told reporters after training at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara. She added that preparations for the 2025 BWF World Championships in Paris (Aug 25-Sept 1) are progressing well. 'We are excited to be back training together. The world meet is a big tournament, and we are looking forward to competing there,' she said. Pearly-Thinaah recently climbed to world number two in the latest BWF rankings after a strong season. They won the Thailand Open, finished as runners-up in the Indonesia Open, reached the Malaysia Masters semi-finals, and made the Singapore Open quarter-finals. Their latest achievement was a runner-up finish at the Japan Open, where they lost to China's world number one pair Liu Sheng Shu-Tan Ning. - Bernama

Tang Jie-Ee Wei survive late scare to reach Macau Open semis
KUALA LUMPUR: Top seeds Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei remained firmly on track for their first title of the season after overcoming a late scare to reach the mixed doubles semi-finals of the Macau Open on Friday. The world No. 3 defeated Indonesia's world No. 25 Adnan Maulana-Indah Cahya Sari Jamil 21-17, 22-20 to be just two wins away from capturing the Super 300 title. Tang Jie-Ee Wei made a blistering start in the opening game, racing to an 11-2 lead before wrapping it up comfortably without ever being threatened. The second game looked set to follow the same path when the Malaysians pulled ahead 15-8. However, their momentum faltered, allowing the Indonesians to mount a comeback and level the score at 20-20. Tang Jie-Ee Wei had earlier squandered two match point opportunities at 20-18 but managed to steady the ship just in time, sealing the next two points to close out the contest in 34 minutes. It was a timely result for the top seeds, who are bidding to make their first final of the year after being stopped in the semi-finals on four previous occasions -- at the Malaysia Open, India Open, Indonesia Open and Japan Open. They will next face either Denmark's Mathias Christiansen-Alexandra Boje or Japan's Yuta Watanabe-Hina Osawa for a place in the final.
