We want to keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty were the last pair to reach the semifinals of the Denmark Open in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The milestone was achieved the hard way. After a nervous start, the Malaysians found themselves trailing and struggling to impose themselves on the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tan admitted the pair had initially been too cautious, allowing errors to creep into their game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were too defensive and too careful with our shots,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen they were leading 14-11, we had a discussion on court. We told ourselves to enjoy every point and not think too much about winning or losing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Thinaah, the breakthrough reflects a season that has been anything but straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been a rollercoaster year with both good and difficult moments,\u201d she said. \u201cReaching the semifinals is a positive step for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was little time for celebration, however. The pair intend to review their performance with their coaches before turning their attention to the next round. Awaiting them are Bao Li Jing\/Cao Zo Han, an emerging partnership that Thinaah expects will provide another stern test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just need to take it one point at a time, keep communicating, enjoy the rallies and enjoy the game,\u201d she said.\u00a0This will be the first encounter for the pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
