NEW DELHI: In an unbelievable and phenomenal display of athleticism and perseverance, the pair of Thinaah Muralitharan and Pearly Tan outlasted their Japanese opponents in the women's doubles badminton match to emerge victorious in a record 211-shot rally at the Malaysia Masters last Thursday.
As the Malaysian pair survived a monumental rally against Ayako Sakuramoto and Rene Miyaura, Thinaah threw her racket in the air in relief while an a completely exhausted Tan was on the floor, trying to catch her breath.
