In a rapid-fire contest which lasted just 28 minutes, the pairings, affectionately known as the Minions and the Daddies, whipped the home crowd – still abuzz from the extraordinary men’s singles final just minutes before – into a delirious frenzy.
Gideon and Sukamuljo romped home to a 21-19 21-16 result in the first all-Indonesian men’s doubles final at the Istora since 2005.
It is a venue they have made their own in recent times, claiming the Indonesia Master-Indonesia Open double for the last two seasons.
