However, in the tournaments held from June 12 to 18, Marcus/Kevin admitted that they didn't want to think much about targets on their shoulders.

"Yes I just got home from Gold Coast and started training today but I still want to use the remaining time for preparing myself," said Kevin as quoted from sport.detik.com.

"I surely want to become a champion but I don't want to think too far, just step by step. Every tournament has the same ambition, winning. I don't want to think much about PBSI's target. I just do the best I can," said Kevin.

In the first round of BIO 2017 nanti, Marcus/Kevin will take on Danish players, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen. Although Marcus/Kevin are more seeded compared to the world's ninth players, they both must be aware.

That's because in the preliminary rounds grup 1D at Sudirman Cup 2017 when Indonesia faced Denmark, Marcus/Kevin failed to contribute points for Indonesia after stunned by the other Danish pair, Matias Boe/Carsten Mogensen.

"Every opponent is tough, since the beginning it has been tough. Yes,therefore I just play normally, more consistently, and calmly. We were just unlucky that time," said Kevin.
