Entering the semi-finals of the German badminton tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh has a chance to receive a big reward.

Nguyen Thuy Linh eliminated 2 Indian tennis players

After defeating Kashyap Aakarshi (India, ranked 48th in the world) in the round of 16, early this morning (March 1), Nguyen Thuy Linh eliminated another player, Tasnim Mir (India, ranked 72nd in the world) in the quarter-finals to win a ticket to the semi-finals of the women's singles event of the 2025 German Open badminton tournament.

As expected, despite being ranked lower, with her youth and progress, 20-year-old Tasnim Mir caused many difficulties for Vietnam's number 1 badminton player Nguyen Thuy Linh. The Indian player's diverse playing style and persistent control of the ball pushed Nguyen Thuy Linh into a situation where she had to cling to the score. The Dong Nai player gradually narrowed the gap to only 1 point (19/20), putting pressure on her opponent, but Tasnim Mir still got the decisive point, winning 21/19.

With no way back, Nguyen Thuy Linh unleashed her strength in the second set. The Vietnamese badminton beauty queen demonstrated the experience and bravery of the player currently ranked 29th in the world and the 6th seed of the tournament when she deepened the score gap before winning 21/12, equalizing the score 1-1.

Nguyen Thuy Linh entered the semi-finals of the 2025 German Open badminton tournament after consecutively defeating 2 Indian players.

Unfortunately for the Indian player, he suffered an injury in the decisive third set. Despite trying hard, Tasnim Mir was not willing to take any risks due to the injury, so when Nguyen Thuy Linh led 7/0 in the third set, Tasnim Mir withdrew.

By winning a ticket to the women's singles semifinals of the 2025 German Open badminton tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh "pocketed" 3,480 USD (nearly 90 million VND) and 4,900 bonus points. If she reaches the final, her bonus will increase to 9,120 USD (about 230 million VND) and 5,950 points, and if she wins, Nguyen Thuy Linh's reward will be 18,000 USD (about 450 million VND) and 7,000 points.

Nguyen Thuy Linh's opponent in the women's singles semifinals of the German Open badminton tournament is Riko Gunji (Japan, ranked 41st in the world). This 22-year-old player won the women's singles at the 2019 World Junior Championship and is a member of the Japanese badminton team.
