Host Nation’s Legacy at the Indonesia Open

Since its inception in 1982, Indonesia has stood as the most successful nation in the tournament’s history, boasting an impressive total of 84 titles. However, the wait for another trophy continues; the last victory for the host nation was secured in 2021 by the legendary men’s doubles pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, who defeated Japan’s Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi in straight games, 21-14, 21-18.

In recent years, the title has remained elusive for Indonesian players. The most recent standout performance came during the 2025 edition, where Sabar Karyaman Gutama and Reza Pahlevi Isfahani finished as runners-up. The duo narrowly missed the title after a hard-fought battle against South Korea’s Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae, ending with scores of 21-18, 19-21, 12-21.
