JAKARTA - Mixed doubles badminton players Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti opened Indonesia's representatives in the semifinals of the 2022 Asian Badminton Championships. However, in the round which took place on Saturday, April 30 that afternoon, both of them gave an easy ticket to the final for the opponent.
Praveen/Melati failed in the semifinals because they decided to withdraw. The situation had to be taken because of a waist injury experienced by Praveen Jordan ahead of the second game.
Facing Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong who are representatives of China, Praveen/Melati was confused from the first minute. They were quite far behind with a score of 7-2 and continued until the first interval belonged to the opponent with a score of 11-4.
After the break, the Chinese representatives continued to suppress the Praveen/Melati resistance. It can be seen from the difference in points that is far up to 10 points at the position of 16-6.

Several attacks that Praveen/Melati failed to return several times made the Chinese doubles win game points at 20-8. Huang Yaqiong's strong attack then ensured that the first game belonged to the Chinese representative with a score of 21-8.
The situation could have been answered by Praveen/Melati during the second game. However, this failed to happen because during the break Praveen/Melati had time to communicate with match officials and finally decided to resign. After all, Praveen's condition did not allow it.
