from (insider) information, Daniel Marthin is the one that Kevin would like to play with (almost made it in Thomas Cup 2020), even that was what coach Herry IP said as well (
https://sport.tempo.co/read/1518302...kan-alasan-pasangkan-kevin-dan-daniel-marthin)... But we'll see, all depends on Kevin/Marcus/coach in PBSI/ (and even Yonex as the sponsor of "Minions"? because Yonex choose Minions as the main player for advert) about the future of the Minions...
My guess would be "wait and see" how they perform this year... if they are able to win Asian Games and/or World Championship, then it's quite likely we'll see this number 1 pair in Paris Olympic 2024... if they have some trouble this year than it could be time for the minion to find new pair for 2024 Olympic preparation... It's a bit surprising that INA decided not to try/experiment Kevin with other pair after Tokyo Olympic, because as like China is doing as well, it's a good time experimenting new pairs right after olympic and assessing the progress and performance of this experiment pair... (perhaps Minions is bound to Yonex sponshorship as well thus won't be able to be splitted? who knows)
My personal wish is that they are able to win those two important tournaments, and for Gideon hopefully he'll be able to play like "Ahsan or Setiawan" type of play,,, mixing up the pace, good placement on shuttle, variety of shots, etc... Because age is coming up to Gideon, so need an alternative in their playing style...
But we'll see,,, wishing all the best of course.
