JAKARTA Leo Rolly Carnando/Bagas Maulana's men's doubles intends to take revenge against Chirag Shetty/Satwiksairaj Rankireddy when they meet in the second round of the China Open 2025.
Leo/Bagas went through the first round after stopping the Takumi Nomura/Yuichi Shimogami (Japan) pair in the clashes between two straight games 21-17 and 21-17 on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.
The eighth seed will then meet the Indian pair, who previously defeated them in the first round of the Indonesia Open 2025 in early June 2025.
"Obviously we want to revans, the capital is already there from today's results. We have an increase, but we still have to play more calmly," Bagas said in a statement received.

This is the first time Leo/Bagas have passed the first round of their last four tournaments. Apart from Indonesia, the couple also returned early at the Singapore Open and the Japan Open 2025 last week.
"Alhamdulillah, I am grateful to be able to qualify for the second round after in the previous three tournaments we always lost in the first round. Of course this adds to our motivation," said Leo.
The results obtained by Leo/Bagas made Indonesia's men's doubles still safe in this Super 1000 BWF level tournament.
Before them, two tickets had been secured by Fajar Alfian/Muslim Shohibul Fikri and Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.
Indonesian men's doubles also definitely have one ticket to the quarter-finals. The reason is, Fajar/Fikri and Sabar/Reza immediately clashed in the second round of the tournament.
