Pearly Tan Koong Le, born on March 14, 2000, in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia, commenced her badminton journey at a young age, with her father, badminton coach Tan Seng Hoe, operating the Alor Setar Racquet Club (ASRC). Her early career saw her forming effective partnerships in junior circuits, notably with Toh Ee Wei. In 2018, Tan and Toh secured silver medals in girls’ doubles at both the Badminton Asia Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships, demonstrating early potential and consistent performance on the global youth stage. These achievements laid the groundwork for her transition into senior competitions.
Tan notably began her senior partnership with Thinaah Muralitharan in 2019, quickly achieving success by claiming their maiden senior title at the Malaysia International Series. This partnership proved particularly fruitful, leading to their first BWF World Tour title at the Swiss Open in 2021. The pair continued their ascent in 2022, earning gold medals in both the women’s doubles and mixed team events at the Commonwealth Games, further solidifying their position in international badminton. The same year, they made history by becoming the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to win the French Open. A significant personal milestone for Tan occurred in April 2023 when she set a new world record for the fastest women’s badminton smash, recorded at 438 kilometers per hour, becoming the first badminton player to hold this record.
The partnership of Tan and Muralitharan reached new heights in 2024, becoming the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to advance to the semi-finals of an Olympic Games at the Paris Olympics. They secured a silver medal at the 2025 World Championships, showcasing continued high-level performance. The duo also achieved a Super 500 level title at the 2024 Hong Kong Open. Their consistent results and historic achievements at major tournaments, including their Olympic semi-final appearance, position them as the most successful Malaysian women’s doubles pair in history.
