Nguyen Thuy Linh is having trouble due to injury.

Yesterday, September 17, Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 17th in the world) had to voluntarily withdraw while competing with Singaporean tennis player Yeo Jia Min (ranked 15th in the world) in the first round of the China Masters women's singles badminton tournament.

The number 1 Vietnamese tennis player played with great effort but still lost to Yeo Jia Min 19/21 in the first set. When the second set just started with the score 3/0 for the Singaporean tennis player, Nguyen Thuy Linh asked to stop playing due to injury and was accepted by the referee. "My feet and ankles have been in pain for the past few days, making it impossible for me to move normally. Before the match with Yeo Jia Min, I consulted a doctor and was warned that if I was not careful, I could get a more serious injury, even a torn ligament... I personally never want to see the line "quit" in my playing history", Nguyen Thuy Linh shared.

It is known that Nguyen Thuy Linh suffered this injury since the Vietnam Open Badminton Tournament which ended a few days ago in Ho Chi Minh City, the tournament where she lost to Chinese player Cai Yanyan in the final, thus missing the opportunity to win the championship for the 4th consecutive time. Thuy Linh tried to go to China to compete, but when she felt she could not continue, she proactively asked to withdraw.

Nguyen Thuy Linh must adjust her competition schedule.

To focus on treatment and recovery from her injury, Nguyen Thuy Linh must adjust her competition schedule in the coming time. She will only participate in 3 out of 4 tournaments of the European tour in October, including tournaments in Denmark, France, Germany (withdrawing from the tournament in Finland). Thuy Linh's international competition schedule depends on her ability to recover from her injury. Her goal remains unchanged, which is to strive to enter the world's top 15 and be selected as a seed at the 33rd SEA Games taking place in December in Thailand. However, things have become more difficult due to the injury she has just suffered. In addition to the injury, Nguyen Thuy Linh also does not have experts or coaches accompanying her when participating in international tournaments, but she pays for it herself through socialized funding. That is also a big disadvantage for the number 1 tennis player in Vietnam when she does not have anyone to support her professionally and psychologically.
