Despite an easy 21-13, 21-15 win in the second round of the Malaysia Masters on May 22, national No. 1 women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah said they still need to work on certain parts of their game including lapse of concentration. They are looking to win their second consecutive title after winning the Thailand Open last week.

00:00I think overall we are not very satisfied.
00:29But I think there's still room for improvement for the both of us, especially on the focus part.
00:35So I think that is really something that we need to look back and also prepare well for the next game.
00:40So what do you mean by the focus part too much when you're up to the upper end of the season as well?
00:45I think we got carried away when we were leading quite a big lead.
00:50So I think during those crucial points we have to step up a little bit more and thankfully that we did that after the level point as well.
00:58So that really helped us.
01:00I think we are maybe getting tired because of all of them.
01:04Is it that or maybe excitement in the all?
01:09I think it's just during those few points the opponent also really pressured us a few points.
01:15So that really caught us off guard at some points as well.
01:17But then we reminded each other to just stand firm on our gameplay and support each other along the way.
01:24To borrow the Indonesian pair, you have 4-1 record, but the Indonesian pair also have 2-2.
01:32They have been playing very well.
01:34So how do you see them?
01:35I think as usual, we just want to focus on our own gameplay because when we can give our gameplay out, I think we did quite well.
01:46So we hope to go back and discuss for the game tomorrow and prepare well.
01:51Sometimes a player, I mean this kind of player, sometimes we feel sometimes difficult also to play rather than the top top 4, top 3 players from the class.
02:01So how do you want to keep focus and make sure that we did more?
02:07I think all the fans we play is really difficult, not easy, and usually we just always remind each other, no matter opponent leading or we're leading,
02:17we just want to remind each other to keep focus, keep our gameplay and also discuss with coaches.
02:22So I think this is the main thing to keep us focused.
