JAKARTA - Indonesian men's doubles, Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani, have actually secured the 2024 BWF World Tour Finals ticket after breaking through the last 16 of the Kumamoto Japan Masters 2024.
Additional points in Kumamoto brought Sabar/Reza to eighth place in BWF or up one ladder.
Sabar/Reza replaced the Malaysian pair, Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik, and Liang/Wang from the competition of the last eight BWFs.
As is known, the BWF World Tour Finals, which is the closing tournament for the year, only plays the top eight badminton players.
However, the Sabar/Reza journey is still continuing at the 2024 China Masters. They broke through the final after defeating the third seed from China, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu, two straight games, 21-16 and 21-18, on Saturday, November 23, 2024.

Being a finalist for the 2024 China Masters, Sabar/Reza will rise to fifth place. If they become the winner of the BWF Super 750 tournament, they will also remain in fifth place in BWF.
"We have mixed feelings because this victory could be our move towards the BWF World Tour Finals 2024."
"Something that was previously unimaginable. So, if it passes, it will be like a dream come true," said Sabar.
"Hopefully this good journey will continue into the next round. We competed with great motivation."
"We want to win, but we also don't want to burden ourselves too much," said Sabar again.
In the final of the 2024 China Masters at Shenzhen Arena, Sunday, November 24, 2024, Sabar/Reza will meet the South Korean doubles, Jin Yong/Seo Seung-jae.
The duel will be the second competitive double meeting.
