JAKARTA - Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Mohammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani secured the ticket to the second round of the Australian Open 2025, ensuring that the Indonesian men's doubles were still safe.
They kept hope in the tournament thanks to the win over Japan's representatives, Hiroki Midorikawa/Kyohei Yamashita, in two straight games 21-19 and 21-16 on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, morning WIB.
"We are still adapting to the field conditions and the shuttlecock is quite slow. So, we have to spend extra energy to kill the opponent," said Reza.
This result beautifies the record of winning Sabar/Reza to 2-0 over the runners-up of the Japan 2025 Kumamoto Masters last week.

Previously, another victory that Sabar/Reza got also occurred this year, namely in the last 32 of the Singapore Open in May 2025.
"We have now been taken into account by the opponent. So, whoever meets us will definitely analyze our game carefully," said Reza.
In the second round, Sabar/Reza, who are the fourth seed, will meet Fang-Chih Lee/Fang-Jen Lee. The pair from China Taipei qualified for the second round by defeating the host representative Kanki Igawa/Ooi Yi Hern.
The victory of Sabar/Reza at the same time ensures that all three Indonesian men's doubles who play in this tournament are still safe.
Two other representatives who previously confirmed the ticket to the second half were Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri and Raymond Indra/Nikolaus Joaquin.
