Nguyen Thuy Linh (27 years old) and Manami Suizu (21 years old) had faced each other 3 times before meeting at the Canada Open 2025. In which, the No. 1 Vietnamese tennis player defeated her opponent twice and lost once at the Korea Masters 2023 badminton tournament. The Japanese tennis player has the advantage of youth and is on the rise while Nguyen Thuy Linh has a lot of experience in the field. Both had impressive victories to advance to the championship match of the Canada International Badminton Championship 2025. In which, Manami Suizu excellently defeated No. 1 seed Michelle Li (Canada, ranked 19th in the world) in the semi-finals.

Nguyen Thuy Linh missed the shuttlecock many times.

Nguyen Thuy Linh started the game cautiously, actively controlling the shuttlecock to wait for opportunities from Manami Suizu's mistakes. The Japanese player confidently neutralized Nguyen Thuy Linh's traps and also created pressure with tricky shots at the end of the court. The number 1 Vietnamese player had impressive scoring shots but also missed many shots, so she lost 12/21 in the first set.

Having a good start in the second set with 3 consecutive points, Nguyen Thuy Linh continued to make many mistakes, so Manami Suizu quickly caught up. The Japanese player, with the advantage of youth, proactively "pulled" Thuy Linh into long-lasting shots. The attacking pressure created by Manami Suizu made Nguyen Thuy Linh "wobble" and accept defeat 14/21.

Losing 0-2 to Manami Suizu, Nguyen Thuy Linh received the runner-up title in the women's singles at the 2025 Canada Open badminton tournament. Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player missed the opportunity to win the championship for the first time in the tournament in the World Tour Super 300 system. The prize for the runner-up title that Nguyen Thuy Linh received was 9,120 USD (about 230 million VND) and 5,950 bonus points.
