Reasons PBSI does not mix mixed double like men’s doubles on the home tour page all

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – PBSI Home Tournament will be followed by a mixed dual sector. Unlike in the men’s doubles sector, there are no mixed doubles separated from their regular partners.

PBSI Home Tournament will continue after completing the competition in the men’s doubles sector Pelatnas on June 24-26.

After the men’s doubles are finished, competition between mixed doubles becomes the next agenda in the PBSI Home Tournament. A total of 11 couples will be performing next week.

Unlike the men’s doubles players, Praveen Jordan et al will continue to appear with their permanent partner.

The competition will run more optimally because each player can bring out the best abilities with their respective counterparts.

PBSI has a special reason for not doing a revamp of players in their mixed mixed internal tournaments.

Head of the Development and Achievement Division of PP PBSI, Susy Susanti, assessed that the strength in the mixed dual sector of national training was evenly distributed so that all couples had the opportunity.

“Strength in the mixed doubles is quite evenly distributed, there are still many possibilities that will happen,” Susy said.

Susy also believes the mixed doubles pair of the pratama group has the potential to defeat her seniors on the PBSI Home Tournament.

“For example Teges Satriaji Cahyo Hutomo / Indah Cahya Sari Jamil, does not mean they cannot defeat the more senior ones, maybe,” said Susy again.

Susy considered this tournament could be a test for the mainstay pair, Praveen Jordan / Melati Daeva Oktavianti, to measure their abilities.

“They have to train harder, plus focus and the most important thing is to be consistent, can they get past the challenges of their own friends?” said Susy.

Five mixed doubles pairs from the pratama group will be confronted directly with six pairs from the main group on the PBSI Home Tournament.

The 11 contestants will be divided into four groups according to world rankings. Later, the two best contestants from each group will advance to the quarter-finals.
