The final
Malaysia's Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah won the Denmark Open (Super 750) women's doubles on Sunday 18 October 2026 at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense, beating Japan's Hinata Suzuki and Nao Yamakita 21-18, 21-11 in 36 minutes, according to Asia News Network (from The Star) and Malaysiakini.
An 18-year wait
Both say it ended Malaysia's 18-year wait for the title; the last Malaysian winners were Wong Pei Tty and Chin Eei Hui in 2008. The New Straits Times reported on the semi-final, where the pair beat China's Bao Lijing and Cao Zihan 21-16, 21-14 on 17 October; the pair are ranked world No. 5 and their opponents No. 30. Asia News Network says it was their second title of the year.
Why it matters
For Malaysian fans, a title at a Super 750 in Denmark in a year when the Super 1000 calendar is being reshaped is a reminder that doubles remains the country's strongest discipline.
