KUALA LUMPUR: World ranking is not a priority but independent pair Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi believe that being in the top eight is a boon in a highly competitive men’s doubles scene these days.

Although it is a proven fact that any pair in the top 15 are capable of winning titles in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) tour, the seedings ensures the top eight pairs don’t clash against each other at least until the quarter-finals.
