World No. 9 The sole qualified player from India is Lakshya Sen. Eighth seed is the 20-year-old. Lakshya will want to do well in Malaysia after a poor first-round exit at the Indonesia Open. The third section of the draw, which also includes World No. 3 Anders Antonsen, is where he gets drawn. In the opening round, Lakshya will compete against Heo Kwang-hee of South Korea. He’ll probably match up Andersen and him in the quarterfinals.

Kidambi Srikanth, the 11th-ranked player in the world, wants to atone for his Indonesia Open loss in the second round. He will play Thailand’s Sitthikom Thammasin in the opening round of this competition because he is an unseeded participant.

Sai Praneeth is also assigned to the same section as Srikanth. In the first round, Sai Praneeth will compete against Antony Sinisuka Ginting, the sixth seed. If the Indian succeeds in this match, he would probably meet Srikanth in the next round. World No. 1 Viktor Axelsen is also competing in this quarter.

HS Prannoy and Sameer Verma are in the same neighborhood. Prannoy, who advanced to the semifinals of the Indonesia Open, will face hometown favorite Liew Daren in the opening round of the Malaysia Open, while Sameer Verma will face seventh seed, Jonatha Cristie.
