Not since mixed pair Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms in 2005 have England produced winners at the world’s oldest tournament but in Lane and Vendy, they can count on a partnership that ended 2022 on a high, beating several of the planet’s best tandems.
And it helps that they are great friends off court.
“We set similar goals and ambitions, we are working towards the same thing,” Lane, 25, told Badminton England.
