Reaching world No. 20 for the first time motivates Nguyen Thuy Linh to compete in the first round of the women's singles at the 2023 French Open badminton tournament taking place tonight (October 25), facing world badminton star Chen Yu Fei.
Nguyen Thuy Linh stopped in the first round of the 2023 French Open
Chen Yu Fei started well, making effective use of difficult shots, putting Nguyen Thuy Linh in a passive position. The Chinese player widened the gap to 6 points (16/10) and was expected to have an easy victory.
In a very difficult situation, Nguyen Thuy Linh unexpectedly rose up strongly. The player from Dong Nai scored 7 consecutive points to lead 17/16 against Chen Yu Fei, forcing this player to make adjustments and "tighten" her playing style to win a rather difficult 21/19 victory.
Nguyen Thuy Linh could not surprise the Olympic champion.
Ignoring the opportunity in the first set, Nguyen Thuy Linh started well in the second set when she led her opponent 4/0. However, the Chinese player came back strongly with a series of consecutive points to win 21/5, closing out the overall victory 2-0.
It is expected that after the French Open, Nguyen Thuy Linh will go to Germany to compete in the Hylo Open tournament in the World Tour Super 300 system. However, due to her recent busy competition schedule, Nguyen Thuy Linh has decided to change her plan. She will return home to focus on recovery, then from the beginning of November, she will go to Korea and China to compete in 2 tournaments in the World Tour Super system.
Nguyen Thuy Linh ended her international competition quite successfully.
Witnessing Nguyen Thuy Linh competing internationally alone in recent times, many fans call her "the lonely star" with the hope that she will soon have a coach or expert to accompany her to support her when training and competing internationally in the future.
