Vietnam’s number one tennis player, Nguyen Thuy Linh, will make her return to the international scene next March at the English Open, whose total prize pool can reach $1.45 million.

In the latest BWF rankings released today, Nguyen Thuy Linh maintains his 11th place. After the Indonesia Masters badminton tournament, she planned to train in Thailand, but after finding neither a suitable training location nor a training partner, she returned to Vietnam. His return to competition is scheduled for next March during the All England Open tournament, with a total prize pool of $1.45 million (around 37 billion dong).

At 29 years old, Nguyen Thuy Linh continues his quest to dominate the world of badminton, with his next goal being to qualify for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games in the United States. She is supported by her agent in Dong Nai province, as well as the badminton department and the Vietnam Badminton Federation, for her training and international competitions.
