Ahsan/Setiawan, known as “the Daddies”, started their partnership since 2012. They perfectly complement each other combining aggressive backcourt attacks and varied net play strategies. The duos became World No.1 in the end of 2013, and have been active on the world stage since then.

 

In 2019, Ahsan/Setiawan made it to 11 major finals, including clinching the titles of All England Open, World Championships, and World Tour Finals.

Despite numerous achievements, they mentioned that the only way to maintain competitiveness is to keep the passion for progress and victory. They have high anticipations of the cooperation with VICTOR to keep pursuing excellence. “Definitely happy and proud to be part of Team VICTOR!” said Ahsan, “I hope to be even better and win big titles with VICTOR.”
