The withdrawal of two seeded players, Chen Yufei (China, ranked 8th in the world ) and Busanan Ongbamrungphan (Thailand, ranked 10th in the world) at the last minute has disrupted the women's singles event of the Malaysia Masters international badminton tournament. Accordingly, instead of facing 6th seed Ratchanok Intanon (Thailand, ranked 11th in the world) in the first match, Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 27th in the world) will face Pusarla Venkata Sindhu (India, ranked 16th in the world). The 2019 world champion Pusarla Venkata Sindhu is considered to be lower than Intanon. Thuy Linh also defeated this opponent in the most recent encounter in January at the Indonesia Masters. Therefore, this is a good opportunity for the Dong Nai player to pass round 1. If he enters round 2, Linh will face an opponent who is considered to be weaker, the winner of the match between Tidapron (Thailand, ranked 80th in the world) and Christophersen Line (Denmark, ranked 35th in the world).

With the support of Indonesian expert Hariawan Hong, Nguyen Thuy Linh is expected to compete successfully in Malaysia. In addition, this tennis player is in good shape after more than 1 month of training and recovery since the Asian Championship in China.
In addition to Thuy Linh, the Vietnamese badminton team also has Le Duc Phat and Nguyen Hai Dang participating in the Malaysia Masters 2025 international badminton tournament, but they have to compete from the qualifying round of the men's singles. In the qualifying round that took place yesterday, May 20, Duc Phat and Hai Dang both won the first round, then faced each other in the decisive match for a ticket to the main round. Ho Chi Minh City player Hai Dang played better, winning 2-0 against Duc Phat, thereby appearing in the main round of the men's singles, facing Yushi Tanaka (Japan, ranked 23rd in the world).
