Indonesian men's doubles pairs have secured three consecutive BWF World Tour titles after Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin won the Taipei Open 2026 at the Taipei Arena on Sunday (2/8/2026).
In the final, Leo/Daniel defeated the Malaysian pair Aaron Chia/Aaron Tai in straight games, 23-21 and 21-19. This victory continues the positive momentum for the Indonesian men's doubles sector, following Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri's title wins at the Japan Open and China Open in the two preceding tournaments.
This string of achievements demonstrates the consistency of the Indonesian men's doubles pair in facing international competition. The Taipei Open title also marks the second victory for Leo and Daniel since reuniting as a pair, following their earlier win at the Thailand Open 2026.
PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BNI—as a strategic partner of the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI)—appreciates the athletes' achievements and the sustainable development process being implemented.
BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo stated that these three consecutive titles demonstrate the depth of strength in Indonesia's men's doubles sector, as well as the athletes' ability to maintain their competitiveness amidst the fierce rivalry of the global badminton circuit.
"We congratulate Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin on successfully winning the Taipei Open 2026 title. This achievement rounds out a series of successes for Indonesian men's doubles pairs across the last three tournaments and is the fruit of the hard work put in by the athletes, coaches, and the entire national badminton development ecosystem," said Okki in a written statement.
According to Okki, this success also reflects the importance of consistent development, athlete succession, and opportunities to compete in various international tournaments.
As a partner of PBSI, BNI continues to support the strengthening of the national badminton ecosystem, ensuring athletes have a solid foundation to develop and sustain their achievements on the global stage.
"The athletes' achievements not only bring honor to Indonesia but also serve as an inspiration to the younger generation, demonstrating that discipline, hard work, and consistency in the process can lead to accomplishments that make the nation proud," he said.
As it approaches its 80th anniversary—driven by the spirit of *Swadharma Bhakti Nagara* (Selfless Dedication to the Nation)—BNI continues to strengthen its role in developing Indonesian talent. As part of the Danantara Indonesia ecosystem, the company views the enhancement of human resource quality as a crucial foundation for bolstering the nation's competitiveness.
BNI hopes that the success of securing men's doubles titles in three consecutive tournaments will serve as momentum to maintain consistent performance while strengthening the athlete succession pipeline. Through collaboration with PBSI, the company will continue to support efforts to produce more Indonesian athletes capable of competing and achieving success on the international stage.
