Thuy Linh and Hai Dang won the national championship.

VHO - Vietnam's two leading badminton players, Nguyen Thuy Linh and Nguyen Hai Dang, won the women's and men's singles, respectively, of the 2025 National Individual Badminton Championship, which concluded in Dong Nai on the afternoon of August 16.

Thuy Linh ( world rank 23) and Hai Dang (world rank 58) are the two Vietnamese tennis players with the highest world rankings in their respective categories, and they are also the leading candidates for the championship at the tournament.

Thuy Linh continues to have no rivals in domestic tournaments.

In the women's singles final, Thuy Linh, despite facing many difficulties against Tran Thi Phuong Thuy ( Bac Ninh ), thanks to her courage to speak up at the right time in decisive moments, won 2-0 with a close score of 22-20 and 22-20.

This result helped Thuy Linh bring home the gold medal for the host Dong Nai . This is also the third consecutive year Thuy Linh has won the gold medal in the women's singles event at the tournament.

Meanwhile, in the men's singles final, Nguyen Hai Dang (HCMC) successfully defended his championship title by defeating Le Duc Phat (Army) with a score of 2-0 (21-18, 21-13).

A year ago, Hai Dang defeated Duc Phat in the men's singles final of the tournament and this time he continued to do the same.

Hai Dang successfully defended the men's singles gold medal.

It can be said that the national championship will be a great source of encouragement for Hai Dang and Thuy Linh to participate in the world championship, taking place at the end of this month in France.
