Di tengah persaingan para pemain-pemain muda berusia 20 tahunan, pasangan berjuluk The Daddies itu tercatat lolos ke 11 final turnamen BWF sepanjang 2019. Mereka bahkan sukses menyabet status juara dalam tiga ajang besar, yakni All England, Kejuaraan Dunia Bulu Tangkis dan BWF World Tour Finals. Berkat prestasi tersebut, Hendra/Ahsan pun berhasil menduduki peringkat kedua dunia sejak Agustus 2019 hingga sekarang. Mereka mengungguli pemain-pemain muda, seperti Li Jun Hui/Liu Yu Chen (China), Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto (Indonesia) dan Lee Yang/Wang Chi-Lin (Taiwan). Dengan menempati peringkat kedua dunia itu, Hendra/Ahsan menjadi salah satu wakil Indonesia yang lolos kualifikasi Olimpiade Tokyo bersama kompatriot sekaligus juniornya Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon.

Während Chou Tien Chen in einem begeisternden Endspiel über 85 Minuten Ng Ka Long Angus aus Hongkong (Weltranglistenplatz 9; Setzplatz 6) mit 21:19, 18:21, 21:18 bezwang, setzte sich Akane Yamaguchi mit 21:19, 6:21, 21:12 gegen die Chinesin Chen Yufei (Weltranglistenplatz 8; Setzplatz 4) durch.
