The 2025 Korea Masters badminton tournament is the first tournament that Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 24th in the world ) returns to compete after the injury she suffered at the China Masters tournament in September.

At the 2025 Korea Masters, Nguyen Thuy Linh showed impressive form when she won all 2 matches against Han Yu Chen (Taiwan, ranked 174th in the world), Hung Yi Ting (Taiwan, ranked 70th in the world), winning the right to enter the quarterfinals of the women's singles event.

In the quarter-finals taking place at 12:30 today, Nguyen Thuy Linh will meet the home Korean player Lee So Yul (ranked 110th in the world). This 22-year-old player has not had any outstanding achievements, but overcoming her opponents to reach the quarter-finals shows that she is in good form.

The most worrying thing about Nguyen Thuy Linh is that she has not fully recovered from her foot injury. Being selected as the second seed in the women's singles at the Korean Masters badminton tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh will have to face "lightweight" opponents in the first rounds, which opens up the opportunity to advance further.

If she can defeat Lee So Yul, Nguyen Thuy Linh will likely face Thai badminton player Pitchamon Opaniputh (ranked 37th in the world) in the semi-finals. This is an 18-year-old Thai badminton talent who is on the rise and is very formidable.

The 2025 Korea Masters badminton tournament is part of the World Tour Super 300 system of the Badminton World Federation (BWF), with a total prize money of 240,000 USD (about 6 billion VND). By reaching the quarterfinals, Nguyen Thuy Linh will receive at least 1,440 USD (about 37 million VND) in prize money and 3,850 bonus points. If she can overcome the home player to reach the semi-finals, Nguyen Thuy Linh will receive 3,480 USD (about 90 million VND) in prize money and 4,900 bonus points.
