Second round of last year edition scored a bizarre fact happened in this category when all seeded players tumbled at same stage. The winner statistics of previous editions indicated many underdogs tasted the glory in SIS since Superseries inauguration, back to 2007. It's interesting to follow whether this trend will happen again this year.

Our best bet is in our XD of Danny and Vanessa, but I guess we have to be happy if they can reach the QF. For that matter, if any of our players or pairs can appear in the QF, we should celebrate! Sad state of affairs in Singapore badminton and it will take a long time to recover.
