Missing the chance to win the championship, Nguyen Thuy Linh still received a reward of more than 200 million VND

On the evening of March 2, Nguyen Thuy Linh lost 16-21, 17-21 to Yeo Jia Min in the final match of the 2025 German Open badminton tournament.

In set 1, the Vietnamese player fell behind early. Nguyen Thuy Linh's efforts to catch up in the later stages of the first set were not enough for her to turn the situation around.

Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player played better in the second set. However, she could only draw with her opponent until the score was 3-3, then she was always chasing. Nguyen Thuy Linh lost this set again and was defeated in the end.

Nguyen Thuy Linh missed the chance to win her first Super 300 title in her career when she lost in the final of the German Open.

Thus, Nguyen Thuy Linh missed the opportunity to win the first Super 300 championship in her career. Last year, also at the German Open, Nguyen Thuy Linh lost to Mia Blichfeldt (Denmark) in the final match.

The 1998-born tennis player has only won 3 BWF World Tour titles. Those are all Super 100 tournaments held at home (Vietnam Open) in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

As runner-up at the German Open, Nguyen Thuy Linh received more than 9,000 USD (nearly 230 million VND) in prize money. Champion Yeo Jia Min won 18,000 USD.

At the 2025 German Open, Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 26th in the world) was seeded 6th. In addition to the Vietnamese player, the other 3 seeds in the draw, Line Kjaersfeldt, Sung Shuo-yun (Tong Thac Van) and Zhang Beiwen (Truong Boi Van), were all eliminated early.

Nguyen Thuy Linh defeated Leonice Huet (France), Aakarshi Kashyap (India) and Tasnim Mir (India) in the first three rounds. In the semi-final, the 1998-born player defeated Riko Gunji after two sets with a score of 21-17, 21-19. In the previous three matches, the Vietnamese representative only lost one set in the quarter-final match against Tasnim Mir.
