On the world women's singles badminton rankings, Thuy Linh is ranked 27th. Meanwhile, Dai Wang is only ranked 71st.
The Vietnamese player is also more experienced, having participated in many major tournaments. Meanwhile, Dai Wang has a modest record and is little known. Thuy Linh has also been in good form recently when touring Europe. She finished second at the German Open, then unfortunately lost to world number 3 Akane Yamaguchi at the All England Badminton Championships.
However, when meeting Dai Wang at the Swiss Open, Thuy Linh could not reproduce her form. The Chinese player had an explosive match day with many skillful moves to lead 4-1, 5-2 in the first set. After that, Thuy Linh calmly pulled back to 6-6 and then started to lead 7-6, 8-7.
The two fought fiercely until Thuy Linh won by a narrow margin of 21-18. But in the second game, the Vietnamese badminton "hot girl" could not take advantage of the lead. To be fair, she did not have a good day. There were many situations where Thuy Linh made mistakes even though she was not under too much pressure.
In game 2, Dai Wang was the one who gained the advantage when he took the lead many times and won 22-20. This result forced the two players to enter game 3 to determine the winner.
Thuy Linh left many fans with regrets in this game. She started well to lead 7-3. However, Dai Wang calmly scored a series of 4 points to tie the score at 7-7. The Chinese player continued her excitement and then led with a large gap of 15-11.
At this point, Thuy Linh exploded in time to equalize the score to 15-15. However, her declining physical strength prevented her from doing anything more. Dai Wang played proactively, scoring a series of points and ending the third set with a score of 21-15.
This defeat caused Thuy Linh to say goodbye to the 2025 Swiss Open early in the first round.
