JAKARTA - The men's doubles Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani did not encounter any obstacles to getting a ticket to the second round of the 2026 BWF Super 750 India Open.
The seventh seeded pair stopped Chen Zhi Ray/Lin Yu Chieh (China Taipei) in an easy two-game match 21-13 and 21-8 at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, New Delhi, on Tuesday, January 13, 2026.
"Alhamdulillah it can run smoothly, well, it can be given a victory in the first day of the India Open," said Sabar in a statement received.
Sabar/Reza only encountered a tight match at the beginning of the first game. They were several times behind and forced to rise, but after successfully leading in the interval, their pace could not be stopped anymore.
In the second game, Sabar/Reza appeared more crazy and immediately took the lead 5-0. The opposing pair then managed to narrow it by two points, but their point gap then continued to widen.
"Of course, it's nice, excited to play in the India Open. We are the only representatives of Indonesian men's doubles who hopefully can give their best," said Sabar.
Sabar/Reza will next meet the Japanese pair, Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi. The 2021 world champion eliminated the men's doubles Kittinupong Kedren/Lucas Ekarat Wedler from Thailand.
Previously, Indonesia also got a ticket to the second round through Putri Kusuma Wardani. The 23-year-old shuttler fought three games to beat Canadian representative Michelle Li.
