KUALA LUMPUR: Matches in two courts in the US$1.45mil Malaysian Open have been halted after the roof at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil started leaking due to heavy downpour.
Women’s doubles pair Teoh Mei Xing-Go Pei Kee’s first round match against China’s Jia Yifan-Zhang Shuxian in the World Super 1000 was stopped with the former narrowly trailing behind 10-11 after rain water started leaking onto the court on Tuesday (Jan 7).
