From their quality, they can definitely win a title in Taipei. I see them going all the way to the final since the quarter-final and semi-final opponents will be Vietnamese and Taiwanese pairs that I have never heard of.

But of course, I will be rooting for the Indonesian pairing of Devin/Vita if they happen to be the opponents in the final. They only have to overcome 2 more Taiwanese pairs, with the tougher test being tomorrow's likely match against Tsai/Chien.

this is interesting. I've seen something like this happen a month ago. Was watching snippets of the french open, and I saw a french guy partner with an indonesian girl, and they won over their european (forgot their nationalities) opponents.

i think it's all about experience, and if you're lucky, money at the end.

Maybe it's a USA-Taiwan-Indonesia Team effort.

yeah rite!

seriously, no one seems to have the answer.

Since this is an 'Open' event, I suppose anyone can choose to partner anyone, irrespective of their country of origin, unlike official events like the Thomas Cup, South East Asia Games or the Sudirman Cup.
