Don't think Syed Modi has ever had two bigger names headlining the tournament than these two. It will be a debut for Zii Jia, as he has never played in the tournament before. Axelsen hasn't played the tournament in 10 years.

Haikal & Hon Jian are set to be the No. 1 seeds. They were the MD champions two years ago in 2023. It was the very first title of their partnership. The week after, they went on to win a second consecutive title, Guwahati Masters 2023, and achieved back-to-back titles in India.

Syed Modi 2025 is anticipated to be Zi Yu's second ever World Tour tournament, after competing in this year's Macau Open. For Noraqilah, it is going to be her World Tour debut in WD.

Su Hui hasn't played XD since 2022 when her regular XD partner back then was Beh Chun Meng. It's doubtful, however, that Syed Modi 2025 will be her competitive return to XD, as Su Hui & Fazriq are far down the reserves list.
