Right after the match, Nguyen Thuy Linh also shared: "Sorry everyone. Today's result is something that Linh or any athlete does not want. I myself never want to see a "quit" line in my competition history. Today I also went out on the field and tried my best, but my feet and ankles have been very painful for the past few days, making it impossible for me to move normally. Before the match, Linh also consulted a doctor and was warned that if I am not careful, I will get a more serious injury, even a torn ligament. Linh thanks the audience for watching, cheering and sympathizing with Linh. Linh will try to recover well and see you all in the next tournaments."

Regarding the reason why Nguyen Thuy Linh did not have expert Hariawan Hong accompany her to the China Masters badminton tournament, Mr. Khoa Trung Kien, in charge of the badminton department of the Vietnam Sports and Physical Training Department, said that this was a tournament Thuy Linh participated in with socialized funding, so she did not have an expert accompany her because the expert was still taking care of the plans of the Vietnam badminton team.
