Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin's Journey Halted, Indonesia Fails to Defend Men's Doubles Title (104 characters)

Indonesia's Men's Doubles pair Leo Rolly Carnando/Bagas Maulana had to end their journey at the Orleans Masters 2026 after being halted in the semifinals.

Competing at Palais des Sports on Saturday, Leo/Bagas lost to China's pair Hu Ke Yuan/Lin Xiang Yi in two straight games with scores of 19-21, 10-21.

After the match, Leo revealed that both pairs actually displayed balanced gameplay, but their own errors became a factor well exploited by their opponents.

"We felt today's gameplay was balanced, but they played very safely while we made many unforced errors," said Leo as quoted from the PBSI statement.

"They also constantly pulled me to the backcourt while Mr. Bagas played mostly at the front, which made things difficult for us," he added.

Bagas echoed similar sentiments, noting they had significant opportunities especially in the first game.

"We actually had chances in the first game. After trailing far behind, we equalized at 19-19, but I rushed and made three consecutive unforced errors," Bagas stated.

Following the tight first game, Leo/Bagas' performance declined in the second game, failing to match the solid play of the Chinese pair.

This defeat confirms Indonesia's failure to win the men's doubles title at Orleans Masters 2026.
