Indian stalwart doubles duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 Malaysia Open, at the Axiata Arena on Thursday. The pair defeated Malaysian doubles pair Ayub Azriyn and Tan Wee Kiong in straight sets 21-15, 21-15 in just under 45 minutes and have made it to the final eight. Outside of this result, it has been a very disappointing day for India, as every other India competing suffered defeats and exited the tournament, including HS Prannoy and women’s doubles pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand. Satwik and Chirag have met these opponents previously in the 2024 Thailand Open, with the Indians winning that match in straight sets as well, and in quite a similar fashion, there was hardly a fuss in which ‘SatChi’ went about proceedings today, winning rather comfortably. ‘Looking to go as deep into the tournament as possible’ Speaking to the reporters after the match, Chirag said “Really feels good (to win). Happy to be back on court. It’s been a good start to the year, and we’re …

Stadium roof leaks as Prannoy match stopped in Malaysia | Badminton News

In bizarre scenes at the Malaysia Open Super 1000, first-round matches on Court 2 and Court 3 were halted after splotches of water drops fell from the roof at the Kuala Lumpur venue of the year’s first big badminton event. One of the matches to be affected involved HS Prannoy who saw water pooling up on his left front court near the net on Court 3. The Indian was leading Canadian Brian Yang 21-12, 6-3 in the second set at that stage. Earlier there had been problems when Yang played on the farther side too, but courtside officials had mopped up the court. However, in the second set, Prannoy gestured to the chair umpire that the court had gotten risky as larger splotches formed on the court, typically where a right handed would play his backhand lunge. Coach Gurusaidutt also warned the player of the risk. The referee arrived on the court soon after and both players left the court after 25 minutes. Two other organising members inspected the leak but play was still held …
