Coach Doesn't Rule Out The Possibility Of Overhauling Leo/Bagas

JAKARTA The men's doubles Leo Rolly Carnando/Bagas Maulana are likely to be overhauled in the midst of the men's doubles coaching team's efforts to find the best combination.

The men's doubles coach, Antonius Budi Ariantho, said that rotationating all players in the sector he leads is a way out to find a partner who can compete at the elite level.

"Yes, it could be overhauled. I think Leo/Bagas also need to be seen. We are looking for the best," he said at the Cipayung PBSI National Training Center on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

Men's doubles is currently rotating the pair Fajar Alfian Muhammad/Rian Ardianto. Fajar was united with Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, while Rian played with Yeremia Rambitan.

This trial program is planned to last until the end of the year while waiting for the recovery of Daniel Marthin, who is Fikri's partner.

Anton said that they would try to find the best men's doubles combinations so that other possibilities were very open to them trying.

"It could also be Daniel playing with Leo again. Back again it could also be if Daniel had recovered, but we will see again what happens in the future," he said.

Leo/Daniel are the pair who won the 2019 Junior World Championship (WJC) title after defeating the first seed from China, Di Zi Jian/Wang Chang, in the final round.

In addition, their combination also resulted in several BWF World Tour titles such as the Indonesia Masters and Thailand Masters in 2023.
