Indonesian men's doubles pair Muhammad Rian Ardianto/Rahmat Hidayat defeated second seeds Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia 21-17, 21-13 in the round of 32 of the 2025 Denmark Open at Jyske Arena, Denmark, on Wednesday.
Rian said this victory was thanks to his strategy and playing pattern which Aaron/Soh could not read, because they were a new pair.
"We played with nothing to lose , and because we were a new pair, it seemed like our opponents didn't yet know our playing style. We were able to play more comfortably and made fewer unforced errors," said Rian.
"We often rotate our partners in training, so it wasn't too difficult to find chemistry on the field. We already know each other's strengths and weaknesses, both with Yeremia and Rahmat. In terms of quality, they're both good, not that different," Rian added.
