Must encounter the opponent too strong Chen YeFei in the 1/8 round of the 2025 Badminton Championship, the player Nguyen Thuy Linh, despite trying hard to avoid failure with the score of gap after 2 sets. This result means that there are no more Vietnamese athletes who have been taking place in Paris.
In the competition with the former No. 1 in the world who had previously won the gold medal of women's singles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Thuy Linh did not play badly in the first minutes. However, Chen YeFei then accelerated and caused many difficulties for the beauty of Vietnam Badminton Village.
Falling into a passive position in the face of the opponent's comprehensive craft, Thuy Linh tried to carry out smart phases to reduce pressure. Unfortunately, she made many unnecessary self -damage errors, so she only recorded 10 points in the first set.
The game also has nothing to change in the second set. Consequently, despite led the opponent 9-7, Thuy Linh finally lost the decision set with the score 9-21.
With a quick defeat against the Chinese opponent, Thuy Linh earned a total of 6,000 reward points. This score is expected to help her return to the Top 20 rankings of the World Badminton Federation (BWF) next week.
