Indonesia’s Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo have emerged as the leading Men’s Doubles pair in recent years. They have a golden opportunity to continue their domination at the upcoming World Championships in Nanjing.
Pursuing the Coveted Crown
Despite several accomplished pairs in the past, like Lee Yong Dae with Yoo Yeon Seong or Chung Jae Sung, they were unable to secure the World title. Gideon and Sukamuljo, in the early stages of their careers, are determined to capture the coveted crown while they are in top form.

The Path Ahead

As the top seeds, they face a challenging path to the World title. They are likely to encounter young Chinese pair Han Chengkai/Zhou Haodong in the second round, Russians Vladimir Ivanov/Ivan Sozonov in the third round, and either Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda (Japan) or compatriots Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto in the quarter-finals.
Kamura and Sonoda have regained their form after a disappointing TOTAL BWF Thomas Cup, winning two titles in three weeks and establishing themselves as top contenders for the World title.
Defending Champions and Other Contenders
Defending champions Liu Cheng/Zhang Nan (China) have been inconsistent this season, with only one title to their name. However, Zhang has a history of performing well at major events. They are in the same quarter as in-form pair Hiroyuki Endo/Yuta Watanabe (Japan), Denmark’s Mads Conrad-Petersen/Mads Pieler Kolding, and China’s He Jiting/Tan Qiang.
The second quarter features Denmark’s Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen, Chinese Taipei’s Chen Hung Ling/Wang Chi-Lin, Japan’s Takuto Inoue/Yuki Kaneko, and Indonesia’s Berry Angriawan/Hardianto Hardianto. Boe/Mogensen started the year strong but had consecutive first-round losses in Malaysia and Indonesia. However, as the most experienced pair, they have the ability to elevate their game when needed.

The third quarter is expected to be closely contested, with contenders such as Chinese Taipei’s Lee Jhe-Huei/Lee Yang, Denmark’s Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, Malaysia’s Goh V Shem/Tan Wee Kiong, and China’s Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen. There are also a few pairs capable of causing upsets, such as India’s Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty, England’s Chris Langridge/Marcus Ellis, and Malaysia’s Ong Yew Sin/Teo Ee Yi.
With strong pairs like Li/Liu, Zhang/Liu, Han Chengkai/Zhou Haodong, and He Jiting/Tan Qiang, China is expected to make a significant impact at the World Championships.
