This tournament is one of The Minions' favorites to make achievements. In the last two editions, the Indonesia Masters title has always fallen into the hands of The Minions.
In 2019, The Minions rose to the podium as the Indonesia Masters champion after winning the match against Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan, or The Daddies, with a score of 21-17 and 21-11.
The Minions' second duel against The Daddies took place at the 2020 Indonesia Masters, and again, Kevin and Marcus came out victorious with a 21-15 and 21-16 advantage.
Kevin and Marcus certainly want to score a hat-trick to win the third Indonesia Masters in a row and re-establish their status as the world's best men's doubles.
In the first round, The Minions will face South Korean representatives Choi Sol-gyu and Kim Won-ho.
The 2021 Indonesia Masters will take place at the Bali International Convention Center on November 16 to November 21. (mcr15/mcr20/jpnn)
