Fateful opponent of Nguyen Thuy Linh

Waiting for Nguyen Thuy Linh to play explosively

After successfully defeating Riko Gunji (Japan) in the semi-finals, Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 29th in the world) advanced straight to the finals of the 2025 German Open badminton tournament, facing No. 1 seed Yeo Jia Min, currently ranked 13th in the world.

Nguyen Thuy Linh is eager to defeat Yeo Jia Min to win her first international championship title in 2025.

Singapore's No. 1 badminton player Yeo Jia Min is a fateful opponent of Vietnam's No. 1 badminton player Nguyen Thuy Linh. In the most recent encounter in January 2025 at the India Open, Nguyen Thuy Linh unfortunately lost to this opponent. The Dong Nai player won 21/19 in the first set, then led 20/18 in the second set and needed only 1 more point to win the match, but Yeo Jia Min won 22/20, then won the decisive third set, much to the regret of Nguyen Thuy Linh and Vietnamese badminton fans.

Nguyen Thuy Linh is expected to successfully collect her debt against Singaporean tennis player Yeo Jia Min in the final of the 2025 German Open badminton tournament.

Previously at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia, Nguyen Thuy Linh lost to Yeo Jia Min with a fairly close score of 20/22, 18/21 in a match where both players showed "equal weight", fiercely competing for points. In 2019, Nguyen Thuy Linh also faced this opponent at the Sudirman Cup and lost 1-2. And in the first encounter in 2016 at the Asian Championship, Nguyen Thuy Linh defeated Yeo Jia Min 2-1.

In the final tonight, Nguyen Thuy Linh will face Yeo Jia Min (Singapore). This player is currently ranked 13th in the world and is the number 1 seed of the tournament, so this is definitely the biggest "mountain" that Nguyen Thuy Linh must conquer if she wants to win the championship. In last year's German tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh was runner-up, this time the number 1 Vietnamese player is determined to change the color of the medal. If she wins the championship, Nguyen Thuy Linh will receive a "huge" bonus of 18,000 USD (about 450 million VND) and 7,000 points.
