JAKARTA - The performance of Indonesia's mixed doubles, Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti has recently been in the spotlight. The reason is their poor performance at the Indonesia Masters 2021.

Indeed, Praveen/Melati could have secured the win, but they fell. The most highlighted factor from the defeat was a matter of communication.

Recently, it was widely reported that poor communication was related to their personal problems. Praveen/Melati was reportedly involved in a love affair off the field and this was confirmed by Praveen.

The former duo, Debby Susanto, admitted that he had had a relationship with Melati. The moment was revealed by Praveen in a video on Joshua Suherman's YouTube account.

"If someone says you're Melly's ex (Melati's nickname) is it true, is it gossip?" Joshua asked Praveen is one of the moments in his video quoted by VOI, Monday, November 22.

"That's right. But that (special relationship with Melati) has been around for a very long time when we were still at the club (PB Djarum). It's been a long time, monkey love is that", said Praveen.

Indeed, the video was uploaded a few months ago before Praveen/Melati's poor performance was in the spotlight. However, because of this video, many netizens have returned to intertwining their personal lives.

Even though Praveen admits that his romance with Melati has ended for a long time, his attitude seems strange. Praveen is even considered selfish when playing on the field and does not try to establish communication with Melati.

In fact, there was also a moment when Praveen was silent during the post-match press conference. At that time Melati was busy commenting on the match, while Praveen was silent and immediately left Melati without a word coming out of her lips.

Their less harmonious behavior also drew the spotlight of the coach, Nova Widianto, who gave harsh criticism. Although Melati had denied there was a communication problem with Praveen, Nova confirmed it.

"Yes, to be honest, they (Praveen/Melati) themselves said (there was a problem), but they didn't have a problem with the reporters. But yes, if we only discuss it, we don't have time", Nova said to the media crew in Bali some time ago.

In the aftermath of this incident, there is also an assumption that Praveen and Melati should be separated as mixed doubles. Netizens also said that Praveen's attitude would only make Melati's performance plummet on the field.
