Perhaps the least known outside their country among Indonesia’s four men’s doubles semifinalists, Sabar Karyaman Gutama and Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani are unfazed by the challenge awaiting them at Singapore Open 2022 today.
To get through to their maiden HSBC BWF World Tour Super 500 final, the youngsters must outwit the country’s most in-form tandem – Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto, who have three titles and three runners-up finishes this season.
“This is an unbelievable achievement,” said 26-year-old Gutama of making their first Super 500 semifinal. “We have nothing to lose as they are the pair ranked higher. We will just enjoy the game, give our best and who knows, we might just get another surprise result.
