JAKARTA - Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani managed to continue their journey to the semifinals of All England 2025.

They managed to beat the Chinese Taipei doubles, Liu Kuang Heng/Yang Po Han in a two-game straight battle, 21-11 and 21-17, at Utilita Arena, Birmingham, on Friday, March 14, 2025.

This achievement is clearly an extraordinary debut for Sabar/Reza in the world's oldest tournament.

Both Sabar and Reza admit that this achievement cannot be separated from the role of Indonesian badminton legend, Hendra Setiawan, who is now omandoinating them.

"I didn't think about anything, the results or anything, I focused on giving my best game. I never imagined that I would enter the semifinals, I was very happy and lucky for me."

"Nothing has changed a lot from the days of Koh Hendra Setiawan, it was the same when they were both players."

"We have imitated him a lot, especially from his discipline. Koh Hendra is disciplined from all aspects," said Reza.

Patience/Reza will meet compatriots, Bagas Maulana/Leo Rolly Carnando in the semifinals of All England 2025.

Be patient to emphasize that he and his partner do not want to expect anything in the semifinals later.

"There are no high expectations, especially since the All England tournament is in the BWF Super 1000 class, the opponent is not easy. It's good to get to the semifinals, hopefully it doesn't just get here."

"Against anyone, we must be ready. It is a very big blessing for us to be able to be tolerated by Koh Hendra," said Sabar.

This means that Indonesia has confirmed one ticket in the final. The place in the top party is also the only place for Indonesia considering that other representatives have fallen.

Gregoria Mariska Tunjung is another representative who can penetrate the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, his journey was stopped at the hands of Han Yue (China) in two straight games, 15-21 and 17-21, on Saturday, March 15, 2025.

Meanwhile, the Sabar/Reza vs Bagas/Leo duel will be presented on Sunday, March 16, 2025, early morning WIB.

The winner of the fight will face the winner between He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu (China) vs Kim Won-ho/Seo Seung-jae (South Korea) in the 2025 All England final.
