Sai Praneeth contra Antony Sinisuka Ginting

Sai Praneeth, who hasn’t had much of a touch this year, faces sixth seed Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in the first round on Tuesday. Praneeth has appeared in six tournaments this year and has faced humiliating first-round defeats in five tournaments. His best performance so far is reaching the second round at the Orleans Masters.

Meanwhile, World No.6 Ginting enters the contest after reaching the quarterfinals at the Indonesi Open. She is yet to win a title this year and her best performances so far this year are two semi-final appearances at the Swiss Open and the Indonesian Masters.

This will be the eighth meeting between both players and the Indonesian leads the head-to-head record 4-3. They last met at the 2020 Asian team championships with Ginting winning the contest after Praneeth withdrew due to injury.

Sameer Verma versus Jonatan Christie

Sameer Verma has been struggling with injuries this year which have seen him drop a bit as he has been inconsistent thus far. He started the year with a second round exit at the Indian Open and then withdrew from the first round at the Syed Modi International as well as the All England Championships. His best performance is reaching the quarterfinals at the Swiss Open. He begins his campaign at the Malaysian Open facing seventh seed Jonathan Christie.

Christie is in good form having won the Swiss Open title this year. He also finished as the runner-up in the Asian Championships after losing the final against Lee Zii Jia. He enters the Malaysian Open after facing the exit of the second round at the Indonesian Open.

This will be the fourth meeting between both players and Sameer leads the head-to-head record 2-1. They last met four years ago at the French Open with Christie recording a three-set win.

HS Prannoy contra Liew Daren

HS Prannoy from India leads the men’s field in the tournament after the withdrawals of Lakshya Sen and Kidambi Srikanth. He begins his campaign by facing Malaysia’s Liew Daren in the first round. Prannoy is a fit man at the moment, having finished as runner-up at the Swiss Open this year. He too played a clinical role in helping India win the Thomas Cup and was recently the only Indian to reach the semi-finals at the Indonesian Open.

Meanwhile, Liew Daren’s performance this year hasn’t been too impressive. He started the season with a loss in the second round of the English Championship. After failing to get past the second round in two more tournaments, he finally reached the semi-finals at the Thailand Open. He is entering the Malaysian Open after withdrawing from the first round at the Indonesian Masters and the Indonesian Open.

The duo will meet for the 11th time in their careers with Prannoy leading the Head-to-Head record 6-4. They last met this year at the Thailand Open with Daren winning the first round contest in straight sets.
