After reaching the final of the Korea Masters (Super 300) two weeks ago, they have now clinched the title at the Australian Open 2025 (Super 500)!<\/p>\n<p>At Quaycentre, Olympic Boulevard, Sydney, on Sunday (Nov 23, 2025), Raymond\/Joaquin overcame fellow Indonesians Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Fikri with a scoreline of <strong>22-20, 10-21, 21-18<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This result came as a surprise, considering Fajar\/Fikri have also been in great form. In the seven tournaments prior to the Australia Open, they reached four finals and claimed one title \u2014 at the China Open (Super 1000) in late July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPraise God, this is proof that we can compete at the top level. We still have many targets ahead, and hopefully we can stay consistent and deliver our best performance like we did here,\u201d said Raymond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll make sure this title doesn\u2019t become a burden. We want to keep playing freely in the upcoming matches,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Their impressive rise earned praise from the senior duo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result wasn\u2019t what we hoped for \u2014 we\u2019re runners-up again. Of course, we\u2019re disappointed, but we have to be grateful, especially seeing the performance of our juniors Raymond\/Joaquin in this tournament,\u201d said Fajar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only did they beat us today, but they also defeated seeded pairs from the very first round. Truly remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir progress has been rapid. At the start of this year, they were still competing in the National Circuit, then moved up to win an International Challenge, a Super 100 title, finished runner-up at the Korea Masters, and now they\u2019re champions at a Super 500 event. Hopefully, they continue to grow and stay consistent.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRY3lgnEh6n\/\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indonesian men\u2019s doubles pair Raymond Indra and Nikolaus Joaquin are on fire.
