Today's Vietnam Open Badminton Tournament Schedule: Thuy Linh Meets Her Nemesis

Vietnam's No. 1 badminton player Nguyen Thuy Linh faced a tough opponent in the first round of the women's singles event of the Yonex Sunrise Vietnam Open 2025 badminton tournament taking place today at Nguyen Du stadium.

Vietnam's Badminton Beauty Queen Promises to Shine

Nguyen Thuy Linh, who holds the record of winning the women's singles at the Vietnam Open badminton tournament three times in a row, faced difficulties in the first round of this year's tournament. Ranked 18th in the world , the Vietnamese badminton beauty was chosen as the number 1 seed but unfortunately faced her "nemesis" Liang Ting-yu (Taiwan).

Liang Ting-yu is not ranked high, currently ranked 70th in the world, but what is formidable is that she defeated Nguyen Thuy Linh in both previous encounters. In their first meeting in 2018, the Taiwanese player beat Nguyen Thuy Linh 2-1 (18/21, 21/16, 21/16). In their most recent confrontation last year at the Malaysia Masters, Liang Ting-yu defeated Nguyen Thuy Linh 2-0 (21/10, 21/13).

Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player knows Liang Ting-yu's strength and has prepared carefully for today's rematch. Playing at home with the cheers of a large number of fans is the motivation for Nguyen Thuy Linh to "get revenge" against Liang Ting-yu. She is also in good form, having just entered the top 16 players at the World Badminton Championships in France. The match between Nguyen Thuy Linh and Liang Ting-yu will take place at 11am today, on court No. 1 at Nguyen Du gymnasium.

Yesterday, the wife of tennis player Nguyen Tien Minh had 2 consecutive victories to qualify for the main round. With a "good" opponent, Vu Thi Trang promises to have another victory at home. The match between Vu Thi Trang and Ashmita Chaliha will take place at 2:30 p.m., also on court number 1.
