HS Prannoy's match, his first since the Paris Olympics, was halted by rain on Tuesday. It was a bizarre moment since the contest was happening indoors at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur. Twenty-four hours later, Prannoy returned to record a fighting win (21-12, 17-21, 21-15) over Bryan Yang of Canada.
Persistent leakage had caused suspension of the match in the ongoing Malaysian Open on Tuesday with Yang leading 11-9 in the second game. After the day's outcome, Prannoy booked a second-round men's singles match versus Li Shi Feng of China. Li had sent India's Priyanshu Rajawat packing with a 21-11, 21-16 victory in his opening match.
