Why are Setiawan and Ahsan known as the Daddies?

Setiawan and Ahsan are in the twilight of their careers. 37-year-old Setiawan, a father of three, said there's not too much to decipher surrounding their nickname. "It's because both of us have families, and so we were named 'The Daddies'," Hendra Setiawan said last year.

34-year old Ahsan, a father of two, said their nickname reflects their time and experience out on court. The duo have won three world titles, in 2013, 2015 and most recently in 2019.
