Prannoy: I don’t think any player has been in this situation


Tough guy: India’s H.S. Prannoy in action in the men's singles first round match at the Malaysian Open. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: Indian shuttler H. S. Prannoy is no stranger to challenges in life and had to overcome another unexpected hurdle in the Malaysian Open. Prannoy fought hard to beat Canada’s Brian Yang 21-12, 17-21, 21-15 in the men’s singles first round at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil yesterday.

The match though was unusual as it had to be played over two days after it was halted at the halfway stage when the roof over the court started leaking on Tuesday.
