An inconsistent Lakshya Sen faltered in his opening match, while HS Prannoy endured a frustrating start to the season-opening Malaysia Super 100 badminton tournament as his opener against Canada's Brian Yang was suspended midway due to a leaking roof at the Axiata Arena on Tuesday. Lakshya, coming off a title win at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow and a third-place finish at the King Cup International, failed to replicate his recent form and succumbed to Chi Yu-jen of Chinese Taipei, losing 14-21, 7-21. The Indian shuttler's game was riddled with unforced errors, leaving him with little chance against the 27-year-old.

Leading 9-7, Yu Jen claimed a crucial long rally with a cross-court smash and entered the mid-game interval with a three-point cushion, aided by a misjudgment from Lakshya.

After the break, Lakshya began committing a flurry of unforced errors, allowing his opponent to build confidence and extend his lead to 13-9.

In the end, Lakshya's inconsistency proved costly as three successive unforced errors handed Yu Jen the opening game.

The Indian's struggles carried over into the second game as well, where he quickly found himself trailing 1-8.

By the mid-game interval, Lakshya faced an uphill battle, trailing 4-11. His downward spiral continued as Yu Jen surged ahead to 19-7, just two points away from victory.

A netted shot from Lakshya gave Yu Jen 13 match points, and the Chinese Taipei player sealed the win with a decisive cross-court smash.

The Indian pair, seeded sixth here, won 21-10, 21-10 in just 30 minutes to secure a place in the round of 16.

On a high following their success in the Syed Modi International Super 300 tournament in Lucknow, Treesa and Gayatri faced little challenge from the unseeded Thai pair taking a 17-8 lead in no time.
