Axiata Arena Roof Leaks, Several Malaysian Open 2025 Matches Postponed

JAKARTA Several matches in the first round of the Malaysia Open 2025 had to be postponed due to the roof of the Axiata Arena Stadium being leaked due to heavy rains.

This was confirmed by PBSI Public Relations in an official statement received by the media on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, evening WIB.

"Several matches will be postponed tomorrow due to technical problems at the Axiata Arena since this afternoon," the statement read.

The leak occurred after heavy rains flushed the location of the match since Tuesday afternoon. This problem made the event delay several matches.

One of them is the Indonesian men's doubles match, Sabar Karya Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani. So, this pair can only play on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Originally, Sabar/Reza were scheduled to play against the Danish pair, Rasmus Kjaer/Frederik Sogaard.

However, the Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi and Gregoria Mariska Tunjung vs Putri Kusuma Wardani matches will still be held tonight.

The three representatives will both appear in Field 3. Ana/Tiwi play in the 12th party, while Gregoria vs Putri in the 14th party.
