JAKARTA - The noise from the supporters at the Senayan stadium has become a unique attraction at the BCA Indoensia Open Superseries Premier (BIOSSP) 2016. Unfortunately, it ruined China's sixth seed's player concentration, Wang Shixian.

Taking on her compatriot,  He Bingjiao, Wang Shixian underwent her second round match on Thursday (2/6). She won in a three set match, 13-21, 21-14, 21-14.

"I was lacking concentration due to the the court's hot temperature and the noise," Wang Shixian said after the match to Djarumbadminton.com.

The 26 year old player said that she lost her concentration because she found herself overwhelmed by the crowd noise at Senayan. She actually knew playing Senayan would likely experience the noise but this time she was distracted.

"Sometimes I felt like being motivated but sometimes I was distracted, like now," she admitted.
