* PREDICTIONS BEFORE THE FINAL

Nguyen Thuy Linh (ranked 18th in the world ) has proven her ability with an unbeaten streak, defeating Liang Ting Yu (Taiwan), Kisona (Malaysia), Thamonwan (Thailand), and Kim Min-ji (Korea) to reach the finals and compete for the championship. If she wins, the 27-year-old Vietnamese badminton player will extend her record of winning the women's singles at the Vietnam Open Badminton Tournament for 4 consecutive times.

It is quite interesting that to be in the final with Nguyen Thuy Linh, Chinese tennis player Cai Yanyan (ranked 107th in the world) excellently defeated 4 opponents all from India: Ira Sharma, Shriyanshi (India), Tanvi Sharma (India), Ashmita Chaliha (India). Cai Yanyan was ranked 14th in the world and also won the badminton tournament at the World Tour Super 300 level, so he is considered very formidable and is a big challenge for Vietnam's number 1 tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh.

The winner of the women's singles final of the Vietnam Open 2025 will receive 5,500 points on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings and a bonus of 8,250 USD (about 200 million VND) from the organizers. This is also a great motivation for Nguyen Thuy Linh and Cai Yanyan to give their best in the final match.
