How many points did Nguyen Thuy Linh accumulate at the world badminton tournament?

ROUND 16 best players

At this year's world badminton championship, because she was not selected as a seed, Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 22nd in the world) was unfortunately drawn into a difficult bracket.

In the first round, the 27-year-old Vietnamese tennis player faced former world champion Ratchanok Intanon (Thailand, ranked 10th in the world). Before that, many people commented that the number 1 Vietnamese tennis player had a hard time traveling nearly 18 hours to France to participate in the tournament but would likely have to stop right in the first round. However, Nguyen Thuy Linh had a very good match against Ratchanok Intanon, making the 2013 world champion struggle to defend, accepting defeat with a score of 0-2.

In round 2, Nguyen Thuy Linh faced Kirsty Gilmour (Scotland, ranked 31st in the world). Against an opponent who had defeated her in the previous match in Indonesia last year, Linh continued to show her high performance, successfully "getting revenge" with a convincing 2-0 victory.

Impressive performance helped Nguyen Thuy Linh qualify for the third round of the 16 best players at this year's world tournament. 7 years ago, Linh also qualified for the third round of the world tournament but thanks to being in a favorable draw, meeting players of her level. Therefore, her achievement this time is highly appreciated by experts.

Nguyen Thuy Linh and c NEW MILESTONE On the world rankings

With her achievement of reaching the round of 16 of the women's singles at the 2025 Badminton World Championships, Nguyen Thuy Linh has accumulated 6,000 points. This is the highest number of points in all tournaments that this tennis player has achieved on the world rankings.

On the BWF rankings, Nguyen Thuy Linh currently has a total score of 46,450. Therefore, according to the coaching staff's calculations, it is likely that after the world tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh will advance deep into the top 20, surpassing the highest milestone in her career that she has ever achieved, which is world No. 18 (Thuy Linh is expected to be ranked 17 or higher after this tournament).

Pursuing professional badminton since childhood, Nguyen Thuy Linh participates in 15-20 international tournaments each year. Many tournaments are not in the plan of the Vietnamese badminton department, so she has to pay for them herself and does not have an expert to accompany her. Many tournaments she was expected to compete in but she lost "shockingly" in the first round, such as the 2025 US Open.

Nguyen Thuy Linh shared that winning and losing are an indispensable part of the journey to pursue her passion. Therefore, she learned to overcome failure with an optimistic spirit towards the future. After the defeat at the US Open, Thuy Linh confided: "The morning before going to the airport, after the storm last night, instead of being hot and sunny like every day, the American sky today was beautiful, cool and fresh. I think it's like my mood, on dark days it will also be cool and fresh like that, but maybe in many different ways." Just over a week after the US tournament, Linh made a strong comeback with the runner-up title at the Canadian Open.

At the 2025 Badminton World Championship, Nguyen Thuy Linh will be accompanied by Indonesian expert Hariawan Hong. This expert has the ability to "read" the match well, thereby giving Linh timely advice to make adjustments.

After the world championship, Thuy Linh continued her journey to conquer international tournaments to maintain her high ranking to be selected as a seed at the 33rd SEA Games taking place in December in Thailand. This is the SEA Games where the number 1 Vietnamese badminton player hopes to achieve the best results for Vietnamese badminton.
