Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo

Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo born 2
August 1995 is an Indonesian
badminton player. He is a doubles
specialist from PB Djarum, a
badminton club in Kudus, Central
Java and has joined the club since
2007. He won the 2017 All England
Open Superseries Premier with his current partner, Marcus
Fernaldi Gideon. He and Gideon were awarded the 2017 BWF
Best Male Players of the Year award after collecting seven
Superseries titles in a year.

Sukamuljo is the nephew of former world number 1 men's

doubles player, Alvent Yulianto Chandra. His journey as an
athlete Badminton is not as easy as turning a hand. He must work
hard to reach his dream. Sukamuljo had failed PB Djarum's
general audition in 2006. However, that did not make him give
up, he improved the quality of his play by increasing his training
hours, which was originally only 4 times a week to be every day.
With these additional hours, he finally managed to pass the
audition at PB Djarum in 2007. After joining PB Djarum,
Sukamuljo had experienced defeat after defeat in the match. But,
with high fighting spirit slowly but surely, he showed a brilliant
achievement, he was finally elected to Pelatnas Cipayung. At first,
Sukamuljo played in a single sector. But, over time he was
introduced to multiple exercises. Both the doubles and mixed
doubles. Initially, he was very burdened playing double. But, he
continued to be encouraged to keep

trying. Over time, Kevin Sanjaya actually feels comfortable

playing in the doubles sector. In 2012, Sukamuljo was paired
with Alfian Eko Prasetyo and won a bronze medal at the Asian
Junior Badminton Championship in Korea. In 2013, he was
paired with Masita Mahmudin playing the mixed game and won
a silver medal at the BWF World Junior Championship. The
following year (2014), Sukamuljo changed partners again with
Selvanus who succeeded in winning the championship at the New
Zealand Open. In 2015, Sukamuljo paired up with Marcus
Fernaldi Gideon who managed to win several championships,
including: Chinese Taipei Master (2015), Malaysia Master
(2016), China Open (2016), All England Open (2017), Japan
Open (2017 ), BWF World Superseries Finals (2017), Hongkong
Open (2017), and India Open (2018). To note, initially the pair
Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon are
considered "next to" the eye. This is because this pair has a height
below the athlete in general. That is why they are called The
Minions. But the achievements for their achievements have been
successful. Even their achievements exceeded the double
achievements of Indonesia's legendary son, Hendra Setiawan and
Muhammad Ahsan, with their achievements, they won the 2017
Male Player of the Year title by BWF.

I like Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo because of his persistence that is

so strong and never give up, even though he failed he didn’t give
up easily and kept trying as much as possible.
