Tennis player Nguyen Tien Minh's wife advances deep in Singapore international badminton tournament

Nguyen Tien Minh is the coach for his wife Vu Thi Trang.

After passing the group stage to reach the main round of the men's singles event of the Singapore International Badminton Tournament, Nguyen Tien Minh (ranked 338th in the world) lost to the 8th seed Kai Cheng (ranked 87th in the world) with a score of 0-2 (15/21, 17/21). "Consoling" for Tien Minh is that his wife, tennis player Vu Thi Trang, still advanced in the women's singles event.

Vu Thi Trang strives to compete, winning the right to enter the round of 16 of the strongest players in the women's singles event of the Singapore International Badminton Tournament

In the opening match of the main round of the women's singles event taking place today, Vu Thi Trang (ranked 129th in the world) defeated Yuan Chi-iao (Taiwan, ranked 182nd in the world) with a score of 2-0 (21/17, 21/14). This victory helped Vu Thi Trang gain the right to enter the round of 16 of the strongest players in the women's singles event. Her opponent in the upcoming match is Lin Sih-yun (Taiwan, ranked 92nd in the world). With the support of Nguyen Tien Minh, Vu Thi Trang promises to play explosively to win a ticket to the quarterfinals.

In addition to Vu Thi Trang and Nguyen Tien Minh, Vietnamese badminton also has faces participating in the Singapore international badminton tournament, namely Phan Phuc Thinh, Tran Hoang Kha (men's singles), Le Ngoc Van (women's singles), but all stopped in the qualifying round. Participating in international tournaments helps Vietnamese players not only gain experience but also accumulate points and improve their rankings to qualify for upcoming international tournaments.

From February 25 to March 3, Vietnam's No. 1 female tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh will compete in the German Open badminton tournament. Thanks to her high ranking (No. 29 in the world), Nguyen Thuy Linh is qualified to participate, not only entering the main round but also being selected as the No. 6 seed in the women's singles. This tournament is part of the BWF World Tour Super 300 system with a total prize money of up to 240,000 USD while the Singapore international badminton tournament that Vu Thi Trang and Nguyen Tien Minh participated in is part of the Challenge system with a total prize money of only 25,000 USD.
