China's mixed doubles, Liu Chen/Bao Yixin, have to leave the BCA Indonesia Open Super Series Premier (BIO) 2015 after the fifth seeded were stunned by the Indonesian third seeded, Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir, with 21-15, 21-18 result at Senayan sports stadium, Jakarta, Friday (5/6).

"I played well, but I guess the opponent was even better. They also had a better preparation than ours," Bao said.

As for the roaring, jubilant fans at the stadium on the fourth day of BIO 2015, Bao Yixin admitted it had nothing to do with it.

When asked about his defeat, Bao Yixin said Owi/Butet were more well prepared than they were. Ironically, she claimed to give the best fight.

“I wasn't distracted by the crowd. All was normal," she added. 

To Bao Yixin, this is his third time she has been performing at Indonesia Open. Her best achievement was winning the 2013 title in women's doubles category. 

Owi/Butet were comfortably placed in semifinal. Owi/Butet will face a winner of a matched played between a mixed doubles pair from England Chris Addcock/Gabriel Addcock and China's first seeded Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei.
