JAKARTA - The men's doubles pair Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani revealed the process of asking Hendra Setiawan to become their coach.
Sabar/Reza will appear in All England 2025 which will take place on March 11-16, 2025. This is the first time the world number eight pair have played in the oldest event in the world.
In addition to debuting, Sabar/Reza will also be accompanied by Hendra Setiawan in the coaching chair. The couple for the first time had a coach after about a year of having a tournament alone.
"We really want to have a coach after the past year we have been alone. After the discussion, we continued to discuss with Koh Hendra and it turned out that he wanted to help," said Sabar, quoted from the release of PBSI.
Hendra accompanied Sabar/Reza after deciding to retire from the badminton world earlier this year. He played his last tournament at the Indonesia Masters 2025 in January.

"Hopefully, the presence of Koh Hendra as a newly retired legend can transmit aura and achievements to us, which also brings even more confidence," said Sabar.
Sabar/Reza akan memulai perjalanan mereka di All England 2025 dengan melawan unggulan ketiga asal China, Liang Wei Berkek/Wang Chang, pada Rabu, 12 Maret 2025.
In addition to Sabar/Reza, Indonesia also sent the men's doubles pair Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Leo Rolly Carnando/Bagas Maulana, Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Daniel Marthin.
