Indonesian mixed doubles pair Bobby Setiabudi / Melati Daeva Oktavianti recorded their first win at the 2025 BWF World Tour after defeating host representatives Liu Kuang Heng/Jheng Yu Chieh in the first round of the 2025 Super 300 Taiwan Open.
Competing at Taipei Arena, Taiwan Bobby/Melati needed 32 minutes to secure a two-game straight win 23-21, 21-16.
The 2025 Taiwan Open will be their first BWF World Tour this season after previously appearing in the Grade 3 Continental Circuit tournament.
With impressive performances such as winning the Singapore International Challenge 2025 and the Sri Lanka International Challenge 2025, their ranking slowly rose to 75th in the world.
Meanwhile, in their debut season on the BWF tour, Bobby/Melati started the match confidently, scoring five consecutive points to lead 8-2.
However, pressure from the Taiwanese pair who continued to target Melati managed to reduce the gap to just one point at 10-9.
