Top 5 Men’s Singles contenders for the Singapore Open Superseries title

Lin Dan – second seed

Never count out a champion despite his struggles! The two-time Olympic gold medallist Lin Dan bowed out earlier than expected in his last two assignments at the India Open and the Malaysia Open. But before that, the legend annexed his sixth All England title, besides emerging victorious at the German Open as well.

The results have been up and down and consistency is definitely found wanting from the 32-year-old’s racquet. But on his given day, the veteran southpaw can still give the youngsters a run for their money as was evident at Birmingham.

The second seed begins his challenge against the World No. 32 Ihsan Maulana Mustofa of Indonesia.
