KUALA LUMPUR: An inconsistent Lakshya Sen faltered in his opening match, while HS Prannoy endured a frustrating start to the season-opening Malaysia Open Super 1000 tournament as his opener against Canada's Brian Yang was suspended midway due to a leaking roof at the Axiata Arena on Tuesday.
Lakshya, coming off a title win at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow and a third-place finish at the King Cup International, failed to replicate his recent form and succumbed to Chi Yu Jen of Chinese Taipei, losing 14-21 7-21.
The Indian shuttler's game was riddled with unforced errors, leaving him with little chance against the 27-year-old.
Prannoy, returning to action after the Olympics, was leading 21-12 6-3 when rainwater began seeping through the roof, forcing play to stop on Court 3 about 25 minutes into the match. On the other hand, Lakshya Sen suffered a 14-21 7-21 first-round loss to Chi Yu Jen.
After a delay of over an hour, play resumed around 4:15 pm, but the match was halted again as the leak persisted.
Yang was leading 11-9 in the second game when officials decided to suspend the match, which will now resume on Wednesday with the score at 21-12 9-11.
