Three seeded pairs were stopped at the last 16 of the tournament. Greysia Polii/Nitya Krishinda Maheswari were stunned by Vivian Kah Mun Hoo/Woon Khe Wei (Malaysia) in a two set match, 17-21, 19-21. Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir surprisingly were stopped by a newly paired Danish, Kim Astrup/Line Kjaersfeldt, 19-21, 17-21. Hendra/Ahsan also couldn't replicate their success at Thomas Cup final before finally stopped by Mads Conrad Petersen/Mads Pieler Kolding (Denmark) with 21-19, 13-21, 18-21.

“The biggest hope lied  in men's doubles and mixed doubles, but they lost too soon in earlier phases, I am personally disappointed. Before playing the match, they had been ready. As for the tight schedule between Thomas Cup and Uber, this cannot be accepted as scapegoat since their opponents have also performed at Thomas and Uber,” said Ricky Soebagdja, Indonesian Team Manager at the BIOSSP 2016.

“Talking about preparation, our players were actually ready especially the mixed doubles who had prepared more during 2016 Thomas and Uber Cup. This cannot be accepted as reasons, especially those who want to perform at the Olympic. We will re-evaluate, discuss, about things need to improve," said Rexy Mainaky, The Head of Indonesia Badminton Association Development and Achievement.

Rexy also gave constructive criticism to all the players, every player is told to have willingness to become the champions.

“I was disappointed with Tontowi's (Ahmad) statement when he said that he had been given the pressure to become the champion right after a match. We didn't force him to become the champion, but that should have come from he himself. As the world champion and the three time All England winner, I think it is natural that he is expected to win the tournament (BIOSSP). This is only Indonesia Open, how this will be at the Olympic? The pressure will be far greater,” said Rexy.
