Thuy Linh is considered slightly better due to her higher ranking on the world rankings (29 compared to 41). The Vietnamese girl also has more competition experience than her opponent.
The two players entered the match in a tense back-and-forth battle. Thuy Linh didn't rush to attack but instead played a long, drawn-out game. However, she made several mistakes and allowed Gunji to score a series of points.
The Japanese player led 8-4, but Thuy Linh calmly fought back and leveled the score at 9-9. The two players engaged in a tense back-and-forth battle. Gunji took the initiative to attack and put pressure on the Vietnamese player, but the Vietnamese player showed her resilience and fought tenaciously.
Many times, as soon as Thùy Linh had defused a situation, she immediately counter-attacked and scored a point. She won the first set 21-17.
In the second game, Thùy Linh's situation became even more difficult.
She didn't start very well, making many errors that went out of bounds or into the net. Gunji took advantage of this to create large gaps, 9-4, 11-6, etc. The gap even widened later when she led 16-8. Just when it seemed this set was firmly in the Japanese player's hands, Thuy Linh fought back strongly.
Vietnam's "badminton hot girl" focused and handled shots more accurately. In tense, long rallies, she was also more alert and won points. Gunji tried to hit difficult shots to put pressure on Gunji, but her declining stamina caused her to make mistakes.
After relentless effort, Thùy Linh brilliantly leveled the score at 17-17 and then won 21-19. This victory marks her second consecutive appearance in the German Open final.
Last year, Thùy Linh lost to Mia Blichfeldt and finished second. This time, she will face Singaporean player Yeo Jia Min in the championship match.
In the world rankings, Thuy Linh is ranked 29th, while her opponent is ranked 13th. Certainly, many challenges await the Vietnamese player.
