Nguyen Thuy Linh performed brilliantly in the first round, defeating former world champion Ratchanok Intanon. However, the Vietnamese No. 1 had a tough match against Kirsty Gilmour, currently ranked 31st in the world. The Scot started strongly, winning 11 of the first 18 points. Thuy Linh broke through strongly after her opponent's 11th point, scoring five consecutive points to take a 12-11 lead.
The world No. 22 completely dominated her opponent in the rest of the first set to win 21-17. Kirsty Gilmour played better in the second set and continued to fight for each point with Thuy Linh, but the overall victory of the match belonged to the Vietnamese player. Thuy Linh showed her steadfastness in the decisive moment, scoring 3 consecutive points when her opponent was behind 21-20, winning the second set 23-21.
A convincing victory over Kirsty Gilmour has put Thuy Linh into the third round of the 2025 Badminton World Championships. The next opponent of Vietnam's No. 1 female tennis player is No. 4 seed Chen Yufei, who defeated Mia Blichfeldt. The Chinese tennis player won the 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold medal and reached the world No. 1 position in 2019. Chen Yufei has won many prestigious titles in her professional badminton career. This will be a very big "mountain" that Nguyen Thuy Linh has to face in this tournament.
