Nguyen Thuy Linh maintains world ranking 17th, absent from excellent badminton tournament

Today (September 23), the Badminton World Federation (BWF) announced the latest rankings, notably Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh still maintains her world ranking of 17th.

How many points did Nguyen Thuy Linh get?

Accordingly, Nguyen Thuy Linh has a total of 48,630 points and maintains the 17th place in the world , which she achieved for the first time in her career last week. However, this ranking of Nguyen Thuy Linh is quite fragile because the difference in points is not far from the following opponents such as Busanan (Thailand, 47,830 points), Kim Ga-eun (Korea, 46,610 points), Line Kjaersfeldt (Denmark, 45,774 points).

At the recently concluded China Masters badminton tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh had to withdraw midway through her match with Singapore’s No. 1 Yeo Jia Min (ranked 16th in the world) due to an injury. Also due to the injury, the No. 1 badminton player of Vietnam had to focus on treatment, so she had to adjust her schedule for domestic and international competitions in the coming time.

At the 2025 Badminton Tournament for Outstanding Players that just opened in Gia Lai, Nguyen Thuy Linh ( Dong Nai ) did not compete. She also withdrew from the Arctic Open Badminton Tournament (Finland) in early October. If she recovers well, Nguyen Thuy Linh will return to the Denmark Open from October 14 to 19, then the French Open from October 21 to 26, followed by the Hylo Open in Germany from October 28 to November 2.

After finishing her European tour, Nguyen Thuy Linh will return home to begin training for the 33rd SEA Games in December in Thailand. Vietnam's No. 1 badminton player hopes to climb higher on the world badminton rankings to be selected as a seed in the women's singles at the 33rd SEA Games, avoiding facing strong opponents from the outside. On the world rankings, Nguyen Thuy Linh is behind the same Southeast Asian players as Pornpawee Chochuwong (Thailand, ranked 6th in the world), Tunjung (Indonesia, ranked 7th in the world), Wardani (Indonesia, ranked 8th in the world), Intanon (Thailand, ranked 9th in the world), Katethong (Thailand, ranked 12th in the world), Yeo Jia Min (Singapore, ranked 16th in the world).
