The former world junior champion has a chance to win the Indonesia Masters after advancing to the final. In the match for the title, Leo/Daniel will face Chinese representatives He Ji Ting/Zhou Hao Dong.
On the way to the final, Leo/Daniel defeated several top seeds. Before defeating the second seeds Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi in the semifinals with a score of 18-21, 21-17, and 21-3, Leo/Daniel defeated Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan first.
Excellent Leo/Daniel head to head for the veteran pair, again showing their abilities in The Babbies vs The Daddies meeting in the round of 16 match.
