Their recent form is particularly telling, showing a mental fortitude that can carry them through the tournament's pressure-packed rounds.
Dark Horses — Two players/pairs who could surprise
While Liu Sisi / Tan Nan are our bold pick, there are two pairs ready to make a statement:
1. A Pratiti / S Ramadhanti with 12 wins and 3 semi-finals this season have shown flashes of brilliance. Their tactical play might just catch the eye in the latter rounds.
2. Bao Liangjia / Luo Xianmei, despite their relatively fewer match wins (11), have been a thorn in the side for many top pairs with their aggressive style.
The Taipei Open 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting event, and these predictions should keep hardcore fans on the edge of their seats.
