JAKARTA - The PBSI Home Tournament for the Mixed Doubles sector has ended. As predicted earlier, Praveen Jordan / Melati Daeva Oktavianti came out as champions. However, attention was focused on the pair Akbar Bintang Cahyono / Winny Oktavina Kandow who were defeated by Praveen / Melati in the final.
Akbar / Winny definitely gave a surprise in this tournament. Starting from defeating their senior, Hafiz Faizal / Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja, in the group stage. This pair was able to get rid of a number of seeds to reach the final round.
Who would have thought, behind the brilliant performance of the two of them, an astonishing fact was hidden. Akbar / Winny have just 'reconciled' after being separated for about a year. The two of them had to separate because Winny was chosen to accompany Tontowi Ahmad. Meanwhile Akbar was transferred to the men's doubles sector.
After Tontowi decided to retire, Winny was again paired with Akbar. Even though they have worked together, the two admitted that it was difficult to reunite. These are complicated times to go through.
"If a lot of people see us playing well in this tournament, actually behind this our early pairing was really messy, we couldn't feel it at all," Winny said on the official website.
According to him, Akbar and Tontowi's games were very different. The thinking is not the same. This is what makes him have to adapt again. In fact, he likens himself to a child who is just learning to walk.
Equivalent to three money, Akbar also admits that it is difficult and must adapt again. If Winny only adapts to the habits of the couple, Akbar must also adapt to the playing pattern of men's doubles to mixed doubles. The reason is, he previously played in men's doubles with Moh. Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.
"In the beginning it was tough, until now we are still trying to improve the quality of the game," said Akbar.
Apart from technical matters, he and Akbar also had to solve the non-technical problems they had experienced. Call it Winny who still feels sad because Tontowi left him, a figure who gave him a lot of knowledge.
"Hopefully in the future Akbar and I will be more compact and can level up the game," explained Winny.
