PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2025 has undergone a scheduling adjustment after a roof leak disrupted play at the Axiata Arena on Tuesday, January 7.
Several matches originally planned for Day 1 have been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 8, to ensure fair competition and sufficient recovery time for the affected players.
The following matches have been moved to Day 2:
- Li Shi Feng vs Priyanshu Rajawat
- Pornpawee Chochuwong vs Anupama Upadhyaya
- Aakarshi Kashyap vs Julie Dawall Jakobsen
- Rasmus Kjaer/Frederik Sogaard vs Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani
Additionally, the men’s singles match between H.S. Prannoy and Brian Yang, which was halted earlier on Court 3, will also resume on Day 2.
Play was interrupted at 3:56 PM local time on Court 2 during the second game of a women’s doubles match featuring Jia Yi Fan/Zhang Shu Xian against Go Pei Kee/Teoh Mei Xing. The match was later moved to Court 3, where it resumed at 8:00 PM, ensuring that the day’s proceedings could continue despite the setback.
The organizers acted promptly to address the unexpected situation caused by the roof leak, demonstrating their commitment to player safety and the integrity of the tournament.
Day 2 will kick off at 9:00 AM local time with an adjusted match lineup. Fans can expect an action-packed day as top players return to the court to battle for their spots in the next round.
This incident has not dampened the spirit of the PETRONAS Malaysia Open, one of the most anticipated events on the BWF World Tour calendar. With the rescheduled matches, fans can look forward to a thrilling day of badminton as the competition heats up.
