History

edit

In the Amateur Era, Ong Poh Lim (1950–1954, 1956, 1960–1961, 1963) holds the record for the most titles in the Mixed Doubles, winning Singapore Open nine times. He share the record for most consecutive titles of five (1950–1954) with Jessie Ong (1957–1961). The most back-to-back finals ever reached in mixed doubles was also achieved by Ong when he reached seven consecutive finals between 1950 and 1956.

Since the Open Era of badminton began in late 1979,[4] Liliyana Natsir holds the record for the most Mixed Doubles titles with six. Kim Dong-moon and Ra Kyung-min (2002–2003), Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir (2013–2014), Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai (2019 and 2022, no competition in 2020 and 2021) share the record for most consecutive victories with two.
