In this match, Nguyen Thuy Linh (number 1, 18th on the world ranking) took on the Malaysian player Kisona Selvaduray (77th on the world ranking) in the second round of the women’s square game against the Malaysian player. Despite her much higher ranking, Thuy Linh did not start the first set, while her opponent played better. Kisona Selvaduray caused a surprise by entering the number 1 placed with a score of 7-4, then 15-9 and finally with 21-14.
In set 2, Thuy Linh came back strongly and scored six points halfway through the set. With that he led 17-10 before he eventually won 21-12.
In set 3, the number 1 of Vietnam dominated her opponent. At the start of the set, she had a series of 8 points and was ahead of 11-4, after which she stood in 16-8 and eventually won 21-10. Thuy Linh defeated Kisona Selvaduray 2-1 (14-21, 21-12, 21-10) and thus reached the quarterfinals.
In the round of 8 best players, Thuy Linh takes on her Thai opponent – Nithittikrai (80th on the world ranking).
Also on the afternoon of 11 September, tennis player Nguyen Hai Dang came back from a backlog and defeated Mithun Manjunath from India with 2-1 (12-21, 21-17, 21-18) and thus qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Hai Dang is therefore the only male tennis player from Vietnam who is still in the men’s icing game. His next opponent is Wang Zi Jun (159th on the world ranking) from China.
