The 2024 China Open badminton tournament, which will take place from September 17 to 22, in Changzhou, will be part of the BWF Tour Super 1,000. This prestigious tournament will have a total prize pool of up to 2 million USD (nearly 50 billion VND) for the first time, 20 times higher than the total prize pool of the 2024 Vietnam Open badminton tournament, which ended 4 days ago, where Nguyen Thuy Linh won the championship for the third consecutive time.
Nguyen Thuy Linh participates in the prestigious China Open 2024 tournament
With an attractive prize structure and high bonus points, the Chinese badminton tournament attracts most of the world's top players to compete. Thanks to her world ranking of 28th, Nguyen Thuy Linh has the opportunity to participate in the tournament. Not only that, the Dong Nai player also won in the first round against Myanmar player Thet Htar Thuzar (world ranking 54). This victory alone brought the number 1 Vietnamese player 6,000 USD (nearly 150 million VND) in prize money and 5,400 bonus points on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings.
At around 4pm today, Nguyen Thuy Linh will compete in the second round of the women's singles, facing the world's 9th ranked player and 7th seed Aya Ohori (Japan). If she defeats this opponent and gets a ticket to the quarterfinals, Nguyen Thuy Linh will "pocket" 11,000 USD (nearly 275 million VND) in prize money. The semi-finalists will receive 28,000 USD, the runner-up will receive 68,000 USD and the prize for the championship title is 140,000 USD.
Aya Ohori is the stronger opponent that Nguyen Thuy Linh faced in the second round of the women's singles of the 2024 China Open badminton tournament.
Nguyen Thuy Linh has faced tennis player Aya Ohori twice. In the most recent match at the Asian Championship in April 2024, Nguyen Thuy Linh lost to this player with a score of 0-2 (14/21, 5/21). And at the 2022 World Championship, Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player came from behind to defeat Aya Ohori with a score of 2-1 (12/21, 21/19, 21/11).
