Marcus Fernaldi Gideon (born March 9, 1991) is a famous Indonesian badminton player. He was ranked the world's best in men's doubles with his partner, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. They played for the PB Jaya Raya club.
Marcus and Kevin were known as "the Minions." This nickname came from their shorter height and how fast and bouncy they were on the court, just like the characters from the movie Despicable Me. A badminton expert, Gillian Clark, even said their quick playing style made men's doubles games super exciting to watch! They were named the BWF Best Male Players of the Year two times in a row. They won seven Superseries titles in 2017 and eight World Tour titles in 2018, including two All England Open wins.

Marcus's Badminton Journey
Starting Out
Marcus began playing badminton at the Tangkas Jakarta club when he was 9 years old. By age 13, he was playing professionally. He even got a scholarship to train in Singapore. But he returned to Indonesia after four months due to illness. His father then trained him as both a singles and doubles player. Marcus won his first international title in singles at the Victorian International event.
Early Wins and New Partners
In 2010, Marcus joined Indonesia's national training center for men's doubles. He teamed up with Agripina Prima Rahmanto Putra. Together, they won tournaments in Singapore (2011) and Iran (2012). They also finished second in Vietnam and Osaka in 2012. Marcus later left the national team in 2013.
He then played as an independent player with Markis Kido, who won a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics. They won their first big title, a Superseries, at the 2013 French Open. They also reached the semi-finals of the 2014 All England Open. In 2014, they won the Indonesia Masters.
The Minions Take Off
In 2015, Marcus was asked to rejoin the national team. He was paired with Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. This new team quickly became known as "the Minions." They reached the quarter-finals at the All England Open and the semi-finals at the Swiss Open. Marcus also helped Indonesia win a bronze medal at the Sudirman Cup. At the SEA Games in Singapore, his team won gold, and he and Kevin won silver in men's doubles.
In October 2015, they won their first title together at the Chinese Taipei Masters. By the end of 2015, they were ranked 16th in the world.
In 2016, Marcus and Kevin continued to improve. They won the Malaysia Masters, then Superseries titles in India and Australia. They also won the Superseries Premier title in China. Marcus helped the Indonesian team win a silver medal at the Thomas Cup. By the end of 2016, they were ranked number 2 in the world.
Becoming World Number 1
In 2017, Marcus and Kevin started strong. They won the famous All England Open in March. This win made them the number one men's doubles pair in the world! They then won the India Open and the Malaysia Open.
They also won the Japan Open and their second China Open title. A week later, they won the Hong Kong Open. This was their sixth Superseries win of the season, matching a record! Because of their amazing year, the Badminton World Federation named them Best Male Players of the Year. They finished 2017 by winning the Dubai World Superseries Finals, making them the first men's doubles pair to win seven Superseries titles in one year.
Asian Games Gold and More Wins
In 2018, Marcus and Kevin continued their winning streak. They won the Indonesia Masters, their second All England Open, and their third India Open. They also won the Indonesia Open in July.
Marcus competed at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. He won a silver medal with the Indonesian team. Then, he and Kevin won the gold medal in men's doubles! They beat their fellow Indonesian teammates in a very close final. In September, they won the Japan Open again. They also won the Denmark Open, Fuzhou China Open, and Hong Kong Open. By winning in Hong Kong, they set a new record: eight World Tour titles in one season! They were again named BWF Best Male Players of the Year.
Continued Success and Thomas Cup Victory
Marcus and Kevin started 2019 by winning their second Malaysia Masters and third Indonesia Masters titles. They reached the final of the Asian Championships but lost to a Japanese pair. They continued to win many titles in the second half of 2019, including the Indonesia, Japan, China, Denmark, French, and Fuzhou China Opens. Marcus ended 2019 with eight World Tour titles.
In 2020, Marcus won his fourth Indonesia Masters title (third with Kevin). In February, he helped the Indonesian men's team win the Asia Team Championships. They reached the final of the All England Open but lost. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many tournaments were canceled.
In 2021, Marcus returned to play. He competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics with Kevin. They made it to the quarter-finals. In September-October, Marcus helped the Indonesian team win the 2020 Thomas Cup, a huge achievement for Indonesia! They also won the Hylo Open and their third straight Indonesia Open title.
Injuries and Retirement
In 2022, Marcus had surgery on his ankles. He returned to play in June but wasn't fully recovered. He and Kevin reached the semi-finals of the Indonesia Masters and were runners-up at the Denmark Open.
In 2023, Marcus continued to struggle with injuries. After eight years, his partnership with Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo ended. Marcus needed more surgery on his right leg.
On March 9, 2024, his 33rd birthday, Marcus officially announced he was retiring from professional badminton. He wanted to spend more time with his family and coach alongside his father.
