1. Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo (Indonesia)
The ‘Minions’ had another brilliant season, winning eight World Tour titles – including three in a row (Denmark, France, China). Rather unusually, they fell in the first round of two major events – the All England and the World Championships – but bounced back strongly after both setbacks. Their record in finals – eight wins out of nine – once again demonstrated why they are such an exceptionally gifted combination.
2. Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan (Indonesia)
