Malaysia Open 2025: Water Leakage stops play in badminton

In a bizarre turn of events, India’s HS Prannoy first round match against Canada’s Brian Yang was interrupted thanks to the leakage from the top of the arena. The water leakage was discovered in the 2nd game when the two players were engaged in a rally and the service judge noticed the leakage and the point didn’t get counted.

The umpire called the officials to inspect and the match was postponed and towels were kept on the spots of the court to counter the leakage. The match has been suspended for more than 2 hours as of now.

Prannoy won the first game 21-12 in a convincing fashion and was leading 6-3 before water leakage halted the proceedings on court 3. Court 2 also had problems as officials were seen lugging in multiple towels to mop up the court. Chinese pair of Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian led Malaysian pairing Go Pei Kee and Teoh Mei Xing 11-10 on that affected court at the 12th minute and the play has been halted since then.

There have been occasions when leakage has caused the play to be suspended but this will surely go down as the longest halt due to water leakage, making fans draw comparison between outdoor sports like cricket and tennis.

India will face a stern test against Sweden in their own backyard in the Davis Cup World Group Tie 1. The tournament will run from February 2-November 25 this year, as 16 different countries fight it out for a title in the finals. Defending champions Italy will again be the firm favorites to again win the title.

The much awaited tie between India and Sweden will be played at Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm on September 14-15, 2024. Both the teams have squared off in 5 ties but the Asian team is yet to win a tie against the European team.

This tie will hold much importance as the loser will be relegated to World group 1 playoffs while the winner advancing to next year’s qualifiers.
